Ohio State Mansfield is known for affordability, location, excellence in teaching, small class sizes, research and internships. The Mansfield campus of The Ohio State University was created through a partnership between Mansfield area citizens and the state of Ohio. In the early 1960s, the Ohio Board of Regents designated Mansfield as a site for an OSU regional campus. Soon after, local citizens mounted a major campaign to acquire the 640 beautifully wooded acres on which our campus facilities are situated.
