Academics
edit
Students may complete one to three years of study in any of Ohio State University’s 200+ majors (available coursework varies by major) in Marion before making the transition to the Columbus campus to complete their degree.[5] Several bachelor's programs and an Associate of Arts can be completed entirely at the Marion campus.[6]
Athletics
editOn December 2, 2006, Lincoln University defeated Ohio State Marion in basketball with a final score of 201-78. This set new all-time NCAA Division III basketball records for points scored in one game (201), points in a half (104), largest margin of victory (123), shots made (78), and shots taken (141). The scoreboard at the end of the game actually read "Lincoln 01, Marion 78," because it wasn't designed to go up to 200.[7]
The Marion campus does not currently offer varsity athletic teams. A club level soccer team is active on the campus.
