Welcome to the Web site of the College of Health and Human Services, the second-largest academic unit on the Ohio University campus.
Housed in Grover Center, the College has more than 3,400 students and is composed of six schools: Hearing, Speech and Language Sciences; Human and Consumer Sciences; Nursing; Physical Therapy; Public Health Sciences and Professions; and Recreation and Sport Sciences.
CHHS awards more than 900 degrees per year. Outreach and community involvement are a defining characteristic of our curriculum, and clinical activity and service learning are intrinsic to most majors. The College's 45 academic major programs all focus on various dimensions of health and well-being. Our students go on to achieve careers as dedicated professionals and successful scholars. More importantly, they are exposed to the five core values at the heart of an Ohio University education: Character, Community, Citizenship, Civility and Commitment.
The mission of our College is to engage in research, teaching and creative activities that contribute to the development, interpretation and application of new knowledge within professional disciplines and enhance the educational experiences of our students. Our faculty and staff are committed to dynamic student learning and preparing students to assume leadership roles in a competitive, diverse, global environment.
In keeping with these goals, the College also administers Ohio University's Division of Campus Recreation, WellWorks fitness center, the Child Development Center child-care laboratory, the interdisciplinary clinic Ohio University Therapy Associates and Kids on Campus afterschool and summer program.
I invite you to explore this site and learn more about our programs and our dedicated, world class faculty, staff and students.
