About The Ohio State University College of Public Health
The Ohio State University College of Public Health is a leader in educating students, creating new knowledge through research, and improving the livelihoods and well-being of people in Ohio and beyond. The College's divisions include biostatistics, environmental health sciences, epidemiology, health behavior and health promotion, and health services management and policy. It is ranked 29th among all colleges and programs of public health in the nation, and first in Ohio, by U.S. News and World Report. Its specialty programs are also considered among the best in the country. The MHA program is ranked 8th, the biostatistics specialty is ranked 22nd, the epidemiology specialty is ranked 25th and the health policy and management specialty is ranked 17th.
From the moment Naomi Adaniya ’10 ’13 ’16 first stepped foot on Ohio State’s campus, it was clear her mission was to lift up others.
While pursuing three graduate degrees — an MPH, an MA in geography and a PhD in health services management and policy — Adaniya immersed herself in projects helping underprivileged children and aimed at reducing infant mortality. She volunteered in the office of pastoral care at the Wexner Medical Center and dedicated herself to being an effective, supportive mentor, earning the Graduate Associate Teaching Award in 2016.
With lawmakers driving decisions around public health challenges including health care access, clean food and water, addiction, and vaccination, advocacy is critical to keeping communities safe, healthy and equitable.
From communicating with elected officials to leading organized policy research to calling for justice on social media, students and faculty at the College of Public Health are advocating for positive change in meaningful ways.
