Arts in Health | Ohio University

At Ohio University, we're committed to fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovative experiential learning. We are hosting an Arts in Health event where admitted students interested in the fine arts, pre-med or healthcare fields are invited to learn more about the ways that OHIO is building stronger academic communities and rethinking future career fields. At this event, you will hear from faculty, students and campus leaders who are working in fields such as:

Music therapy.
Dance-specific physical therapy & athletic training.
Biomedical arts & anatomic illustrations.
Interior architecture for healthcare spaces.
& More!

The Arts in Health event will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025 from 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Eastern.

This event is the day before the March 29th OHIO Up Close. Please consider extending your stay in Athens and signing up for both the Arts in Health event and OHIO Up Close to explore even more of Ohio University! We can't wait to welcome you to campus.
