Kent's nursing faculty, skilled in the Boyer model of teaching, discovery, application and integration, foster the intellectual life of the university and of students. Graduate faculty members work together with their students as they seek to advance nursing knowledge through research, seek improvement in the delivery of health care, and better the health outcomes of the populace. Within the health resources of the region and faculty advising, all students choose a specialization of course work tailored to meet their individual needs. Students are encouraged to publish and present at professional meetings. More than one role function may be chosen.
Programs are custom designed within a curriculum plan for each student.
Students can be assured of a competent, nurturing faculty. Of the teaching faculty, four active and two emeritus members are Fellows of the American Academy of Nursing, while another was recently awarded the Harriet Werley New Investigator Award from the Midwest Nursing Research Society. Several graduate faculty hold extramural funded research grants from federal, state, and private sources. This site designed by Kent State University New Media Services.
