Several ONU Law students are visiting Iceland over spring break as part of the Icelandic Legal Exchange Program – a partnership that’s been going strong since 1960. In addition to this meeting at the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik, students will also visit the Icelandic Supreme Court and the Parliament. The program is a great opportunity for students to enhance their studies while gaining first-hand knowledge of Iceland’s legal system and culture.

Unlike a traditional semester in which students take several courses simultaneously, Ohio Northern University field semester students spend weeks on just one topic.
This semester in the Department of Biological and Allied Health Science is comprised of four three-week modules on field botany, field invertebrate, ichthyology and marine biology.
Students taking the class travel explore Ohio and spend time in Florida studying specimens in the Gulf of Mexico.
