Honors Tutorial College
The Honors Tutorial College (HTC) offers a nationally distinctive undergraduate education based on the British tutorial model developed at Oxford and Cambridge universities. Tutorials consist of courses taught either one-on-one with a student and a professor or a very small seminar consisting of several HTC students and a professor. In general, HTC students take one tutorial per academic semester along with a mix of traditional courses. An education grounded in this approach provides for exceptional faculty mentoring, heightened intellectual development, and experiential learning opportunities. Success in a tutorial program also requires a high degree of maturity, self-motivation, and curiosity. To learn more about HTC, applicants should visit www.ohio.edu/honors.
Application Process HTC has an application submission deadline of November 15, 2020 for all materials. On the Ohio University application form, be sure to check the box indicating that you are applying to the Honors Tutorial College and use the major codes specifically designated for HTC degree programs. The College is highly selective, typically enrolling only 75 students each year across all of its programs of study. For best consideration, applicants should follow the OHP application instructions above and answer the following two HTC questions, resulting in at least three essay submissions. Complete the following two Honors Tutorial questions for each Honors Tutorial major you selected. Recommended length is 500 words each.
HTC Question 1: Please explain why you have chosen your particular program of study.
HTC Question 2: We expect that one reason you seek a tutorial education is for the one-on-one interaction with faculty, but other than that, what interests you about pursuing a tutorial-based undergraduate education? What aspects of your education and life experience have prepared you for a tutorial education with its emphasis on research and creative activity?
Complete applications received by November 15 will be reviewed by Undergraduate Admissions and HTC to determine whether the application will be forwarded to the Director(s) of Studies (faculty members responsible for administering each program of study) for further review. After November 15, 2020, Directors of Studies will select candidates for required interviews. Applicants who do not receive an invitation to interview for an HTC program automatically will be reviewed for admission to the appropriate OHIO college. Because of the nature of a tutorial education, an interview with Directors of Studies and faculty tutors is required. Interviews are typically scheduled for late January and early February. Interviewees who are not offered admission to an HTC program will automatically be reviewed for admission to the appropriate OHIO college.
Recommended Additional Admission Material To provide better insight into their abilities, HTC applicants are strongly encouraged to submit the optional materials below. Applicants who do not submit additional materials by November 15 may be contacted and asked to submit them at a later date. Applicants should not send original artwork or other “one-of-a-kind” materials. Because of the number of applications received, it will not be possible to return materials.
