Reviews
I’ve never felt more taken care of. Amazing experience! And the doctor is really funny.
worst ever. They have done so many mistakes until now in my insurance that all the time i am calling either the insurance companies or writing an email. very irresponsible
Temple Health Services is definitely subpar. I had symptoms of a sore throat, body aches, and a head ache, and I couldn't even see a doctor. I just got a phone call from a nurse, who was nice, but who just told me to drink water and take ibuprofen. I have been doing that, and would actually like to know what exactly is wrong with me. Also, they don't even provide an excuse for me missing classes, I have to fill out a self report form, which professors can choose not to believe is real if they want to. Temple really needs to step up their game when it comes to their student's health and safety, because we all know campus safety is subpar too, but that's another story.
Terria use
I was told that I would get my covid test results back within 24 hours. Well, it's been over 24 hours and there is no phone number for me to call to see what happened with my test results. I went on a wild goose chase calling and being redirected to supposedly related numbers that were actually not related or knowledgeable about the covid testing site on the Temple main campus at all. Now, Temple University is closed for the holidays and I don't know if it's safe for me to leave tomorrow to drive to another state to see my family or not.
***NO WALK INS, APPOINTMENTS ONLY!!!***
Giving two stars because: the doctors and nurses here are great, but the receptionists are truly awful. I came in a couple months ago, extremely lightheaded and feeling I was on the verge of passing out thinking it was from some gastrointestinal bleeding that day (turns out the faint feeling was from a massive panic attack). The receptionists found out I walked in without an appointment - as a result they were very angry and lectured me on the fact they don't do walk ins. This is due to COVID, which makes sense and I understand why. But 1) I have never used student health services before and 2) If I'm bleeding and about to pass out, my immediate reaction is to get help asap, not call for an appointment. I explained this to them and yet they were still upset. I got lectured again, at this point already in near tears because of my worsening panic attack. Luckily, the doctor quickly recognized what was going on and I was fine in the end. Went back last week and they were still shaming new students who walked in without an appointment. I still go to health services because I need to; but, I won't lie, I dread going in due to the receptionists.

Excellent student health services, a clean environment, and awesome healthcare providers! As a Temple student I’m very appreciative to receive this care when far from home!
I cannot even begin to explain how amazing temple student health has been for me. I have gone so many times for so many different reasons and never once did they disappoint. Every doctor cares so much about their patients and truly want to help you. I feel so blessed to have temple health available to me. The doctors and staff are some of the kindest people that I have ever met. Thank you temple student health for the most amazing experiences always!
Practicum, research, residency, and internship opportunities are all part of our curricula. Many of our graduate public health students also pursue international practice placements while in the program.
Our public health alumni are found in organizations ranging from hospitals to private business to government agencies. Our health administration alumni have been recognized as having one of the most successful alumni organizations by the American College for Healthcare Executives as well as The Ohio State University Alumni Association.
Accreditation
The College of Public Health at The Ohio State University is fully accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the nationally recognized accrediting body for schools of public health. Additionally, the Master of Health Administration program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME), the primary accrediting agency for health management education.

Whoever the lady is that answers the calls for appointments is the most unhelpful and rude person I've ever dealt with. I had to end up calling the dispensary just to get the answers i needed and she was very nice AND helpful.
Amazing staff and resources! All the professors genuinely want to instill curiosity and critical thinking.
Some of the best professors you'll ever have!
Unhelpful and rude, the Graduate School uses antiquated thesis/dissertation formats that do not open on contemporary computers and will crash your PC/MAC. They will not help you with questions navigating deadlines or forms and will, with an eyeroll, refer you to their maze of a web site.
Oh and they will never, ever process your graduate assistantship tuition waiver on time.
I will never donate to OSU because of the lack of treatment I have received from this department.

History
The Ohio State University Department of Political Science was officially founded in 1909, after an unstable prehistory. The University was established as a land-grant institution in 1870, and the Board of Trustees adopted a plan the next year that included a Department of Economy and Civil Polity among its ten departments. A chair was appointed for that department in 1875, but it was abolished two years later for a combination of personality and political reasons, being replaced by a Department of Mines and Mining Engineering. A Department of History and Political Science was established in 1887 and continued for 22 years until two separate departments were created in 1909.
The Department of Political Science had only 8 department chairs during its first century. Henry R. Spencer was the founding chair in 1909, serving a remarkable 38 years until he stepped down in 1947. The next three chairs served through the 1950s and 1960s: Harvey C. Mansfield (1947-1959), E. Allen Helms (1959-1962), and Lawrence J. R. Herson (1962-1969). Randall B. Ripley was chair for the next 22 years (1969-1991), a lengthy period by modern standards, though far shorter than Spencer's reign. Paul Allen Beck (1991-2004) served for 13 years, after which he became the third ex-chair in a row to serve as dean of the college. The next two chairs, Kathleen McGraw (2004-2005) and Herbert F. Weisberg (2005-2011), continued the unbroken string of American Politics specialists to chair the department. In 2011 Richard K. Herrmann became the first International Relations scholar to serve as department chair.
The early years saw a number of distinguished faculty, including five presidents of the American Political Science Association: Walter J. Shepard, Francis W. Coker, Clarence A. Dykstra, Henry R. Spencer, and Peter H. Odegard. Other noted political scientists who taught at OSU before World War II include James K. Pollock, Jr. (who later served as the long-time chair of the Michigan department) and the political theorist George H. Sabine. More recent association presidents include, Chadwick F. Alger (International Studies Association), William E. Nelson Jr. (National Conference of Black Political Scientists), Brian Pollins (Peace Science Society, International), and Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier (Political Methodology Society). E. Allen Helms, John Kessel, Herbert Weisberg, Gregory Caldeira, and Janet Box-Steffensmeier have served as president of the Midwest Political Science Association. The American Political Science Association has given its Frank J. Goodnow Award for service to the profession to Samuel C. Patterson and Paul Allen Beck.
The OSU department has housed several of the top political science journals. The flagship American Political Science Review was at OSU for two editorships: that of Harvey C. Mansfield Sr. and of Samuel C. ("Pat") Patterson. The American Journal of Political Science was in the department during three editorships: John H. Kessel, the joint editorship of Herbert B. Asher and Herbert F. Weisberg, and, more recently, Gregory A. Caldeira. The leading international relations journal, International Studies Quarterly, was at OSU under the co-editorship of Richard K. Herrmann, Brian M. Pollins, and Goldie A. Shabad. The Political Behavior journal was edited at OSU by Diana Mutz. Currently, Alexander Wendt is co-editing International Theory and Randy Schweller is the editor-in-chief of Security Studies.
