School Description
Provided by Ohio University- Saint Clairsvilehe Communication and Development Studies program at Ohio University is devoted to multidiscplinary teaching of, and research on, the utilization of information and communication systems and processes to promote national and regional development, to support specific development projects, and to facilitate social change. Rather than expecting students to simply learn and adopt established theories, premises, methods, priorities, values, and practices, the program emphasizes training that gives students the flexibility to critically adapt what they learn to their own world as they experience it. Students are encouraged to develop their own unique approaches to national or regional development, and the role of information and communication, more in tune with their needs and their countries' requirements as determined by social, political, cultural, and economic realities.
The Communication and Development Studies program seeks to contribute to Ohio University's excellence in the fields of communication, development studies, and international affairs; to the university's commitment to international programs, and to its vocation of service to the community. Activities aimed at accomplishing these goals include the coordination of a program of study that leads to a master's degree; the support of faculty and student research; the development and maintenance of resources necessary for teaching, learning, and research; networking with relevant organizations in the field, and promotion of the program, its activities, and its faculty and students both nationally and internationally.
Ohio University- Saint Clairsvile
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaOhio University is a public university located in Athens, Ohio that is situated on a 1,800 acre (7.3 km²) campus. Founded in 1804, it is the oldest public university in Ohio, first in the Northwest Territory, and ninth oldest public university in the United States.
History
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 called for educational institutions as part of the settlement and eventual statehood of the Northwest Territory: "Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." In 1797, settlers from Marietta traveled up the Hocking River to establish a location for the school, choosing Athens due to its location directly between Chillicothe (the original capital of Ohio) and Marietta. At first called American Western University, Ohio University was founded on February 18, 1804, a year after Ohio was admitted to the Union. The first three students enrolled in 1808. Ohio University graduated two students with bachelor's degrees in 1815. The famous E.W. Scripps School of Journalism was established with a grant from the Scripps Foundation. In 1975, Ohio University opened the College of Osteopathic Medicine, which remains the only college in Ohio to award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. Today the university is known for its strong journalism and visual communication programs, as well as its Avionics Engineering Center. The Avionics Engineering Center, part of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, specializes in the research, development, and evaluation of electronic navigation, communication, and surveillance systems. The center, the largest at Ohio University, was established in 1963 to support a combination of theoreticians, technical specialists and graduate students to study navigation issues encountered in air transportation. Currently the university's medical school and college of engineering are engaging in a major collaboration to develop the Academic and Research Center funded by physician and engineering alumni.
