Chapter 2 — History of the Campus
The Ohio State University at Newark and Central Ohio Technical College
(COTC) have a 39-year history. The two schools are separate entities with
distinct educational missions, faculties, and Boards of Trustees. However,
they share a common campus, and some administration, and staff. Newark
is unique from other regional campuses in that it has a single president
for both The Ohio State University, Newark Campus and the COTC.
In 1957 the Newark Campus of the Ohio State University was founded, and
10 years later the present campus was funded through the efforts of a
community fund drive and state appropriations. Creation of campus was
drawn from the Board of Regents initiative in 1965 to expand opportunities
for higher education. COTC was chartered in 1971 to meet the need for
technology training in the region, and the joint campus was formed.
Past planning efforts have included the following:
- Campus Master Plan Study 1971
- Burgess & Niple Parking Master Plan September 1999
- Edsall & Associates Athletic Facilities Master Plan 1999
Student Populations and Programs
There are 1,832 students taking classes at the COTC. Of these 1,832 students,
the FTE is 1,112.1. There are more females than males and the predominant
ethnicity is Caucasian.
