Ohio University Eastern has the feel of a small, private school. The average class size is 15, which enables the student to connect well with the faculty. The faculty are truly experts in their fields, evidenced by the fact that over 90 percent of the tenure track faculty have earned their Ph. D.’s.

Ohio University Eastern consists of two modern facilities: Shannon Hall and the Health and Physical Education Center.

Shannon Hall, named for Ohio’s first native born governor, Wilson Shannon, is the primary educational facility on campus.

The Health and Physical Education Center was completed in 1997 and is arguably the finest athletic facility located between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Columbus, Ohio. The center is the home to OUE’s athletic programs (men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, golf) and also plays host to many high school playoff contests, including the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC) championships and the OHSAA sectional and district finals.

The Health and Physical Education Center features a community fitness center component with a wide range of strength and cardiovascular options. The center is also the home of the Exercise Physiology classrooms and labs.
