Everywhere you look, public health is addressing today’s most pressing issues.

And College of Public Health students are passionate about gaining a depth of experience and applying it as quickly as they can to the challenges they want to tackle.

The college offers a multitude of options to support those goals, including the BSPH-MPH combined degree, which helps students earn both degrees in less time, save money and demonstrate their abilities and commitment to public health.

As part of ongoing work to combat overdose deaths, Ohio State students, including several from the College of Public Health, went to work this spring to educate the Ohio State community about how to stay safe if they use drugs, and how to help others who might be in harm’s way.

Buckeyes for Harm Reduction, a student organization focused on combatting the opioid crisis in Ohio, helped educate their peers and taught them how they can take action during the group’s annual Harm Reduction Week project in March.
