Kent State University’s College of Nursing is one of the most competitive programs on campus. Every semester, hundreds of students apply, but only 100 students get accepted into the Kent State College of Nursing program.

Curtis Good, academic program director for the College of Nursing, said on average, around 60 percent of the students who apply get accepted. In order to get into the program, students are required to take certain courses in biology, chemistry and Kent Core classes. After establishing their GPA for the semester, they can then go through the application process online.
