About Muskingum County

Muskingum County Courthouse

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
