List of colleges and universities in Ohio
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates
The U.S. state of Ohio is home to a number of public and private institutions of higher learning. Prior to statehood, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 included a provision to establish an institution of higher education in what became Ohio. American Western University was chartered in 1802 as a result, but never opened. Two years later, the new Ohio General Assembly chartered Ohio University, which opened for classes in 1809, followed by Miami University, which was chartered in 1809 and opened in 1824. In northern Ohio, Western Reserve College (now Case Western Reserve University) was established in 1826.<ref>See College Lands: Ohio University Chartered, and Land Ordinance of 1785, and Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite book Act of February 18, 1804, v. 2, L.
