Fight climate change

Our faculty and students are working on real-world solutions to address the changing climate, from protecting our coral reefs to developing new clean energy sources. Whether you study biology, chemistry, math or physics, you can help create a more sustainable future.

Improve human health

Across seven departments, along with interdisciplinary centers and institutes, OSU scientists collaborate to deconstruct disease, probe microbiomes, engineer new genetic solutions, model smarter public health interventions and build knowledge about the impact of COVID-19 on our community.

Get hands on

Our science students build a strong academic foundation through classroom learning, but it all really comes together in the lab, field or on the job through internships or global experiences.
