Welcome to Oregon State University’s College of Health. Part of Oregon’s largest research university, with a history stretching back to 1889, we passionately believe that health is for all people, regardless of background. Our world-leading faculty and committed students take on our greatest challenges to health and well-being through a lens of equity and by working hand-in-hand with our communities in Oregon and beyond.
We offer four main degree programs – Human Development and Family Sciences, Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Public Health – and enjoy living, working and playing in the beautiful Willamette Valley, perfectly situated between the mountains and coast and a short drive to Portland or Eugene. We are a close-knit community of learners who collaborate across disciplines, value diversity and train the next generation of public health and human sciences professionals, who are increasingly in demand.
We are the perfect choice for students interested in the health professions, including athletic training, nutrition and dietetics, medicine, nursing, public health, physical and occupational therapy, counseling, health administration and policy and more. In addition to the health professions, we also train students in early childhood and physical education, as well as social services.
Name change! The College of Public Health and Human Sciences is changing its name to the College of Health. You’ll likely see both names for the next few months. We’re also reorganizing. Here's what you need to know to navigate this process.
