The Ohio State University

The Ohio State University is recognized as a leader in research and home to one of the most comprehensive health sciences campuses in the United States. The National Science Foundation ranks Ohio State among the top 10 public universities in research funding. Partnering with many public and private organizations, such as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Education, and National Endowment for the Humanities, gives students at Ohio State the opportunity to work with some of the world’s leading experts and scholars. The university has more than 300,000 alumni worldwide and is central Ohio’s most valuable educational and cultural asset.

The Ohio State University Medical Center includes a college of medicine, five hospitals, two free-standing research institutes and a network of more than 30 primary and specialty care facilities throughout central Ohio. This includes the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute and, new in 2004, the Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital. The latest U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals” issue (July 2006) recognized nine OSU Medical Center specialties as among the best in America.
