Kent State University
Kent State University’s College of Nursing, based in Kent, Ohio, is part of a public, four-year university and offers nursing education from the BSN through doctoral study. Students can choose from traditional prelicensure and RN-to-BSN pathways, along with graduate degrees and certificates. Program delivery varies by track and may include campus-based, online, or hybrid study. The traditional BSN usually takes about four years and roughly 120 credit hours.
The college emphasizes clinical judgment, evidence-based care, patient safety, communication, leadership, health assessment, and population health. Prelicensure students build skills through classroom learning, simulation and lab practice, and supervised clinical experiences in healthcare and community settings, leading toward NCLEX-RN preparation. CCNE accreditation adds confidence in program quality. Compared with many nearby nursing schools, Kent State offers a broader regional presence in Northeast Ohio and a stronger degree ladder for students who may want to continue into advanced nursing roles later.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
