Drawing upon the rich resources of the Ohio State community, including city hospitals and University medical resources, the Ohio State College of Nursing provides a full selection of academic programs ranging from a bachelor’s degree as a route to becoming a registered nurse to advanced graduate programs and continuing education opportunities for active nurses.

With a full set of National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grants and world-class faculty and facilitates, the College is considered one of the top programs in the country. Over 10,000 active alumni create a network of opportunities for placement across the country, in roles ranging from hospital administration to patient care and public health policy roles.

The variety of programs allows nurses at nearly any point in their careers to pursue opportunities in the field. Fully accredited by the Ohio Board of Nursing as well as the Commission on Collegiate Nursing education, programs prepare students for the National Nursing Licensure Examinations as well as providing hands-on experience with the latest advances in medical technology. For existing nurses seeking further credentials, there are advanced R.N. to B.S.N. programs which provide a streamlined route to a degree in the field. Advanced research as the doctoral level helps prepare students for the highest levels of the field, including administration and policy roles. Within Columbus, the medical community provides an opportunity to make connections with advanced medical professionals at all levels, including work in the University’s hospital system in collaboration with the Medical School.
