Print-Based Degrees and Programs

Print-based degrees provide a flexible, independent study option for students who do not have access to a computer or the internet, or prefer to learn from a distance. These degrees are ideal for Correctional Education students or students who prefer correspondence courses. All correspondence between the student and the instructor happens through the mail.

Please note: As of August 2023, Ohio University is not currently accepting applications for new student enrollment in print-based programs. In December 2024, Ohio University announced a new partnership with Adams State University that expands educational opportunities for its Correctional Education students. This collaboration with Adams State University’s Prison Education Program (ASU-PEP) underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional academic resources and support systems. Through this partnership, students can transfer their OHIO credits to complete their degree at Adams State University or complete Adams State University Prison Education Program courses to complete their Ohio University degree.
