Co‐located with Marion Technical College on 187 acres of land, including an eleven‐acre reconstructed native prairie, The Ohio State University at Marion was founded in 1957 and throughout its history has closely partnered with its communities.
After attending The University of Dayton for only one semester, junior psychology major Hannah Belden, found her fit at The Ohio State University at Marion. Belden wanted to find a smaller, more personalized educational experience, so she transferred to Ohio State Marion on the recommendation of a friend and ended up staying longer than she anticipated.

The Ohio State University at Marion and Marion Technical College recently hosted students from six area high schools to compete in the campus's annual high school mathematics competition Friday, December 6, 2019 in Morrill Hall Auditorium on the Marion campus.
What began nine years ago as a concept to introduce students to practical lessons in grant writing, grant approval, and non-profit organization stewardship has grown to become an important part of securing much needed funding for several Marion area non-profit organizations. For the community it strengthens the partnership between Ohio State Marion and the United Way of Marion County, and provides a great experiential learning opportunity for students involved in English 2367.01S, the Pay It Forward student philanthropy initiative.
