Mission

The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical

Institute provides educational programs leading to

associate degrees in agriculture, horticulture,

environmental sciences, business, and

engineering technology. With a high value placed

on lifelong learning, we provide accessible, high-

quality, applied educational experiences. Our goal

is to prepare individuals to be technically

competent, self-reliant, and productive citizens in a

global society.

The purposes of the institute are to offer: 1)

associate of science and associate of applied

science degrees and certificates which include

general and technical courses; 2) credit and non-

credit continuing education and workforce

development opportunities; and 3) transfer

programs leading to higher levels of education.

Emphasis is placed on: 1) preparing technically

proficient individuals for various careers; 2)

developing skills and abilities in problem solving,

critical thinking, leadership, and communication;

and 3) fostering an environment where diversity is

valued and integrated throughout the institute.

General Information

Ohio State ATI provides outstanding educational

opportunities for students interested in careers in

agriculture, horticulture, business, engineering

technologies, and the environment. Twenty-three

programs of study leading to the Associate of

Applied Science, Associate of Science, or

Associate of Technical Study prepare students for

careers in as little as two years.

An Ohio State ATI education is based on the

premise that students learn best when they

participate actively in the learning process.

Teaching and learning reach beyond the

classroom to the laboratories, greenhouses,

studios, and farm facilities that complement the

Ohio State ATI campus. An experiential learning

approach to education lets students learn by

doing, complementing traditional classroom

instruction.

To help students succeed, Ohio State ATI offers a

personalized learning environment in which

students receive individual attention from faculty

with real-world knowledge and expertise. A

student/full-time faculty ratio of 18:1 gives students

the opportunity to work side-by-side with faculty

who take a personal interest in their success.

In an increasingly competitive job market,

experience coupled with technical training makes

the difference. Sixty-seven percent of Ohio State

ATI graduates report they had secured

employment before graduation.

Internships are an invaluable part of an Ohio State

ATI associate of applied science degree. Students

complete internships to gain work experience,

make professional contacts, earn money, and

receive academic credit. Faculty and staff assist

students in locating internships that reflect their

career goals and interests.

Ohio State ATI is located in a major agricultural

center one and one-half miles southeast of

Wooster, Ohio, and is easily accessible from any

area of the state. The city serves as the Wayne

County seat and is home to approximately 26,000

people. In addition to an expanding number of

concerts, intramural sports, dances, and other

activities held on campus, the surrounding

community provides students opportunities to

attend theater and cultural events, YMCA

programs, movies, and fairs. Wooster is within an

hour’s drive of Cleveland, Akron, and Canton,

which offer a variety of activities including major

league sports, concerts, and shopping.

Established in 1969, Ohio State ATI has a

statewide mandate to provide comprehensive

agricultural education. The institute is an

administrative unit of The Ohio State University

College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental

Sciences and maintains a close relationship with

the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development

Center (OARDC), Ohio State University Extension

(OSUE), and the Ohio Department of Higher

Education. These affiliations provide students

access to additional resources and opportunities.

The Ohio State University is a member of the

Association of American Universities, the National

Association of Land-Grant Colleges and State

Universities, and the Higher Learning Commission

(phone 800-621-7440, www.hlcommission.org

Entomology majors are well prepared for careers in plant

health management, public health (including the armed

forces), research laboratories, greenhouse management,

university extension services, agrochemical industries,

environmental and crop consulting, environmental

education, zoo and wildlife management, natural resource

protection and conservation, and government agencies.

Curriculum

The entomology major couples a strong background in

the biological sciences with in-depth study of insect

biology and applied entomology. Students learn insect

physiology, behavior, ecology and taxonomy, as well as

beekeeping, veterinary and public health entomology,

sustainable agriculture, and integrated pest management

in agricultural, forest and urban environments.

Applied learning opportunities

Required student internships are customizable by student

interest. While some students use research experience

with entomology faculty as their internship, many students

secure hands-on experiences outside the university

through government agencies, non-profits, and private

The Certificate in Feed Mill Operations is designed to

provide a foundation in animal feed milling technology.

This certificate program will enable the student to acquire

an understanding of the function of a modern feed mill; to

learn procedures to assist in operating a feed mill; and to

apply academic skills to the challenges of operating a

manufacturing facility.

Career opportunities

According to The American Feed Industry Association,

there are more than 5,800 animal food manufacturing

facilities in the United States which provide more than

944,000 jobs. Students earning the Feed Mill Operations

certificate might pursue employment as a feed mill

technician, assistant manager, or operator.

Hydraulic Service and

Repair

The increasing complexity of equipment and a shortage of

qualified maintenance personnel have created an

immediate demand for skilled technicians with the ability

to maintain, repair and rebuild fluid power components.

This Certificate of Competency will prepare individuals

with the skills and knowledge to get started in the

industry. Students may choose to pursue the Associate of

Applied Science degree at a later time.

Career opportunities

Because rebuilding is often more cost effective and

quicker than buying new components, many large

industrial users and manufacturers seek individuals with

the skills to repair or rebuild pumps, valves, motors, and

cylinders.

Graduates can enter the work force as a system

assembler, component rebuilder, or test technician.

Employment opportunities also exist with firms that

specialize in the repair or rebuilding of hydraulic

components and industrial machinery.

Curriculum

Areas of study include hydraulic principles of operation,

component technology, fluid conveyance, hydraulic

component rebuilding, electrical and electronics, and

welding metal fabrication.
