The College of Arts and Sciences offers the Master of Arts or Master of Science degree through 16 departments. Multidepartmental and special discipline master's degrees are offered in social sciences, environmental studies, and public administration. Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered in biological sciences, chemistry, English, environmental and plant biology, history, mathematics, physics and astronomy, and psychology. More than one area of emphasis is available at both degree levels in several of these departments.
Each department will provide upon request a brochure describing specific degree requirements, specialized graduate facilities, and any other information that prospective students might need.
Among the college's graduate facilities and equipment are a Tandem van de Graaff nuclear accelerator, several modern nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, a nitride MOCVD facility, the Keck Thin-film Analysis Facility, a scanning tunneling microscope with molecular beam expitaxy growth chamber, several chemical spectrometers, several electron microscopes, a scanning confocal microscopy facility, a photomicroscopy laboratory, and a mammalian recombinant genetics laboratory. Specialized laboratory facilities include a morphometrics laboratory, an exercise physiology laboratory, and a hybridoma laboratory. A large preserve of remnant primary forest, Wayne National Forest, Ohio Department of Wildlife areas, and a 180-acre land laboratory adjacent to the campus are all available as resources for teaching and research. Ohio University is a member of the Association of Systematic Collections; collections include an herbarium with more than 5,000 plant species, an entomological collection with more than 100,000 insect specimens, a vertebrate collection with more than 10,000 species, a paleobotanical collection with more than 100,000 specimens, and a paleoinvertebrate collection with at least 350,000 specimens.
