Dean's Message
I warmly welcome you to the College of Health, where we are united by a profound commitment to nurturing healthier lives and communities and ensuring the next generation of globally minded health professionals.
We passionately believe that health is for all people. Our world-leading faculty and committed students work to prevent disease and injury, identify factors that affect health and well-being, inform policy, and shape environments that improve lives and help everyone, from children to seniors, thrive.
We serve others, enjoy meaningful careers and lives, innovate, approach health and well-being through a lens of equity, and co-create knowledge and solutions to pressing health challenges in the far corners of Oregon, the nation and world.
Our four main degree programs – Human Development and Family Sciences, Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Public Health – are offered in Corvallis, and a few of our programs are offered at OSU-Cascades. A number of online degrees, minors, certificates and microcredentials are taught by our faculty via OSU Ecampus to meet the needs of a variety of learners.
Our graduates are part of the next generation of high-demand health professionals and a family of more than 29,000 college alumni around the globe.
In 2023-24, we underwent a name change and reorganization. Change is hard, but we do hard things, and we’re excited about a prosperous future.
Our vision
Lifelong health and well-being for every person, family and community in Oregon, the nation and world.
