A Message from Interim Dean Tracey Motter, DNP, MSN, RN

Choosing a nursing school is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as you prepare for a career in health care. For more than 50 years, Kent State has prepared nurses and health care leaders who make a difference in their communities across Ohio, the nation and beyond.

As part of Kent State, the largest public multi-campus system in Northeast Ohio, our College of Nursing offers opportunities for students at every stage of their nursing journey – from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) through master’s, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Ph.D. programs. Our students learn from accomplished faculty, gain valuable hands-on clinical experience and become part of a supportive community committed to academic excellence, innovations and compassionate patient care. 

Whether you are beginning your nursing education, advancing your professional practice or pursuing research that will shape the future of health care, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals and preparing you to lead with knowledge, confidence and compassion. 

We are proud to welcome you to explore Kent State’s College of Nursing and look forward to supporting your success.
