OU's McClure School for Emerging Communication Technologies Ranked Top-50 in Nation for Virtual and Augmented Reality

This past summer, Animation Career Review, a college review board focused on animation and new technological programming in universities, released their newest school rankings of Virtual and Augmented Reality programs. Ohio University ranked 37th in the country, 9th in the Midwest, and second overall in the state of Ohio (behind OSU). The Warren J. McClure School for Emerging Communication Technologies in the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University oversees all the VR and AR programming here. School Director Dr. Charles “Chip” Linscott sits down to talk about the high ranking, as well as the lab in Scripps Hall that played a huge role in the high ranking.
