Academic

Expected to launch autumn 2022, Ohio State’s new general education (GE) model for undergraduate students will focus on foundation courses, thematic pathways and a new “launch seminar” and “reflection seminar” that help students connect the dots between courses. It will also allow students to better tailor their academic experience to align with their interests and goals.

Starting spring 2021, the College of Public Health will offer an 100% online Master of Public Health degree through its MPH Program for Experienced Professionals (MPH-PEP), which was previously offered in a hybrid format.

The conference covered a wide range of important topics, including best practices and ways to build support for harm reduction programs. Community leaders from throughout Ohio joined national experts and boots-on-the-ground activists for panel sessions, group discussions and lectures.   

Ohio State wasn’t one of my top choices. In fact, I had already interviewed with several other programs and received acceptances from my top two choices by the time I was offered an interview by the Master of Health Administration (MHA) program at Ohio State. First, I accepted the interview, then I canceled. But something inside told me, “you never know what might happen.”

The College of Public Health hosted the 2nd Annual CPH Student Case Competition on Tuesday. With a focus on improving infant mortality in central Ohio, six teams of graduate and undergraduate students developed plans to increase community outreach and the enrollment of high-risk women into the Moms2B program. 

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center sponsored the event and provided the two winning teams with cash prizes: $1,500 for the first-place team and $750 for the second-place team.
