Information Sessions
All applicants are encouraged to attend a FLAS Information Session. Information sessions are scheduled from October 2024 through January 2025. Visit our Events Page for a full listing. If a prospective applicant is unable to attend, please email Emma Pratt, FLAS Program Coordinator, at pratt.124@osu.edu to schedule a meeting.
We have created a short video of a previous slide presentation used at the information session to help to address basic questions and background information. Attending an information session is still strongly recommended as application directions and tips will be covered in much more detail, and some particulars may have changed.
