Campus Information:

The Ohio State University at Mansfield offered its first classes in 1958. The Mansfield campus sits on 640 acres and shares the campus with North Central State College. The campus is a thriving model for sustainability and environmental/natural resources experiential education and hands-on research. The campus has a 20-acre sugar bush used for maple syrup production; vernal pools, pine plantations, wetlands, and stream heads; and an ecolab collaboration with the School of Environment and Natural Resources. The two institutions have their own administrative leadership and governance structure, but partner through several shared services, including security, campus recreation, facilities, and several student events and programs.

Ohio State Mansfield currently enrolls 828 students who are taught and supported by 28 tenure track or tenured professors. The campus focuses on the success of a student academically (small class size; innovative instruction methods; undergraduate research opportunities; easy access to faculty and staff; new programs and facilities), but also the success of students as a person. Nearly a half-dozen faculty have won a University teaching award in the last decade. Over the last ten years, faculty and staff have received millions of dollars in federal funding and private grants. Of the four regional campuses, Mansfield has been the most successful in grant funding via foundation relations. Also, over the last ten years, over a dozen staff members have won University and College level awards and have been recognized for their outstanding impacts by governmental and off-campus entities.
