The Ohio State University is a land grant institution. Because of that, OSU has a presence in each Ohio county through OSU Extension and its faculty and staff. OSU Extension programs include Family & Consumer Science, 4-H Youth Development, Community Development, and Agriculture and Natural Resources. OSU Extension is a non-formal education program using applied research to improve the quality of life for Ohio citizens. OSU Extension is guided by these seven principles:
- Locally focused and relevant to Ohio Citizens
- Holistic, integrated thinking on problems and issues
- Proactive programming across program areas, disciplines, specializations, geographical boundaries, institutions, states
- Structure based on entrepreneurial thinking and action
- Interdisciplinary planning and implementation of programs
- Flexibility in staffing and operations
- Diversified funding supports programs
