The Ohio State University School of Public Health strives to create healthier communities through advancing knowledge in the areas of health organization management, cancer prevention and how behavior and the environment affect health. Ohio State has the first master of public health program in the state and the only accredited School of Public Health in Ohio. The School celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Its Master's of Health Administration program ranks among the top 15 in the country.
Faculty of the School are disease detectives, and these sleuths help you stay healthy. Ongoing research within the OSU School of Public Health includes agricultural injury prevention, adolescent substance abuse, brain cancer, cancers affecting women, certain foods' effects on cancer, tobacco use, and using body mass to predict life span.
The School is also building a strong reputation in preparedness and public safety. Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded the School a $5 million grant to create one of only 23 Public Health Preparedness Centers in the country. This center trains public health workers throughout Ohio to handle infectious disease outbreaks, bioterrorism, and natural disasters. School of Public Health graduates hold various positions in the field of public health, such as: chief executive officer of a children's hospital; health department official; cancer researcher; and manager of community relations at a medical center.
