The programs opening applications today include:

Ohio State’s top-ranked BSN to DNP program now offers a Nurse Anesthesia specialization among its 10 specialty tracks. Students on this track would become eligible to be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). The Nurse Anesthesia specialty track will welcome its first cohort in Autumn 2024.
The college also unveiled a new funding opportunity today – the College of Nursing PhD Scholars – that will offer four-year funding to four full-time students. The funding would cover instructional, general and technology fees related to tuition.* Eligible Scholars would need to meet a 20-hour work requirement, among other expectations as decided by the college’s PhD subcommittee.
“Students are the lifeblood of our college. As we prepare to welcome our current classes of students back to campus, we also welcome passionate prospective future clinicians to apply to join our college family,” said Karen Rose, PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN, dean of the College of Nursing. “We are so proud to offer top-ranked programs across all levels of education – with scholarships and other funding available – to help students of all backgrounds and interests answer their calling to care.”
*Fees not covered by the PhD Scholars funding include: student activity fee, graduate nursing program fee, COTA bus fee, student legal services annual fee, recreational fee and student union fee.
