Overview

Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service is more than a think-tank. While other organizations are thinking about the big problems, we’re developing research-based solutions to challenges facing communities, the economy and the environment. The Voinovich School is a leader in addressing these “wicked problems” facing Ohio, and then scaling these solutions across the whole of Appalachia.

The Voinovich School’s distinction among public service schools is its ability to build partnerships with nonprofit organizations, government and industry to boost our resources and expand our impact. This enables us to further enhance public value, using an innovative approach to economic growth and opportunity, social impact and sustainability, and leadership and community building.

The interdisciplinary nature of the Voinovich School’s educational approach allows us to provide students with unique learning experiences, exposing them to multiple disciplines and cross collaboration, and allowing them to work with real clients and organizations. Leveraging the expertise of engaged faculty members and professional staff, while working with students, allows them to apply their knowledge on some of the toughest challenges facing the world today.

The Voinovich School offers three graduate degree programs, three graduate certificates, and one undergraduate certificate. In addition, the Voinovich School supports one undergraduate major within the Honors Tutorial College.
