Earning your credits, how it works

Like a well-balanced meal, your education will involve different “groups” of classes.

First up are baccalaureate core, or "Bacc Core" — OSU required credits in science and humanities. Next, we have business and design core that teach the foundations of our degree programs. We also have major degree program credits, typically the 300- or 400-level courses. And we have the professional skills series, Blueprint.

Let’s take a closer look at all the academic coursework.
