Was on final approach into OSU landing to runway 27L. On final at less than .25 NM from end of runway; encountered a drone approximately 1 foot X 1 foot at same altitude and had to veer to right to avoid strike. As soon as I realized what it was; I contacted tower and notified them of location and all data that I could pass on incident.
Helicopter pilot on final approach into Class D airport took evasive action to avoid a collision with a UAS. The pilot notified ATC.
