The Ohio State University Working With Apple on Digital Learning Initiative
The Ohio State University today announced that it has worked with Apple to create a comprehensive, university-wide digital learning experience that includes an iOS design laboratory and opportunities for students to learn coding skills.
Called the Digital Flagship University, the initiative will include an effort to integrate learning technology into the entire university experience. Along with the aforementioned iOS design lab, which will be available to faculty, staff, students, and members of the broader community, the university will aim to help students "enhance their career-readiness in the app economy."
Apple CEO Tim Cook commented on the partnership, and said it will give students access to Apple's new coding curriculum.
Starting in 2018, first-year students at the Columbus and regional campuses will be given an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, as well as apps, all funded through the university's administrative efficiency program. Swift coding sessions will begin during the spring semester of 2018.
The iOS design lab will provide technological training and certification to students and community members who are interested in developing apps in Swift.
The Ohio State University also plans to integrate Apple technology into other areas of the university, introducing a chemistry course where students can complete assignments online with iTunes, debuting iPads for journalism and biology students, and more.

At this point I wouldn't recommended university for my kids tbh. We'll see if anything changes in the next 20 years.
That’s good as that will likely make them more determined to pursue higher education. :)

The Ohio University looks like what an Apple Store would look like if it were a library.
