The exam is offered once per year during Winter Quarter and a three week time period is allowed for completion of the exam, which is evaluated by the Department's faculty. The department accepts only 48 undergraduate students each year, equally divided into 16 students for each major. Talented high school students may also apply through the submission of an examination portfolio. Accepted high school students would begin the Design curriculum during their sophomore year after completing the program prerequisites during the freshman year at Ohio State. The GEC is a body of courses designed to ensure that each student becomes acquainted with the basic areas of academic study.
Some majors also require completion of a foreign language requirement.
