College of Health Sciences and Professions: Where everything connects
Now more than ever, we recognize that health is much bigger and more complex than simply treating disease. Health impacts every facet of life, from the economy to education. At Ohio University's College of Health Sciences and Professions, we’re one of the nation’s largest health-focused colleges. But more importantly, our innovative approach to addressing health -- what affects it, who provides it, and how to improve it – is big.
Our experiential and interdisciplinary philosophy means CHSP students learn to treat and optimize health through many lenses, readying them for a career path as tomorrow’s best nurses, social workers, nutritionists, sports trainers, physical therapists, hospital administrators, and more. And, as a leader in population health, we embrace community partnerships to build collaborative, scalable solutions capable of meeting the era’s biggest crises and challenges.
We teach students to think bigger, while not losing sight of the details, so they can build practical solutions that meaningfully improve health outcomes, from the front lines of a major city trauma unit to the most remote corners of Appalachia—one person and one community at a time.

“My role is about helping the team members do what they need to do daily,” she said. “That’s primarily teaching students, but many of us are involved in research and clinical treatments. It’s about supporting each faculty member to meet their own goals whether it be clinical work, research or instruction.”
