The Graduate Center was established in July 1999 to coordinate graduate programs for the citizens of South Central Ohio. The center was designed to assist busy professionals and community residents with a means of achieving their educational goals within close proximity to their homes and places of employment.  In partnership with other universities, graduate classes leading to master's degrees are offered on the Shawnee State Campus.  Most courses are taught by these universities in the evenings or on weekends, implementing various modes of delivery including interactive video and in-person instruction. 

The current programs offered by our guest universities include graduate degrees in:

Education, School Psychology, Business
