Why should I apply to Kent State?

For the nationally accredited programs, world-class facilities, big opportunities, and small-town hospitality. But get the detailed answer to this question and others.

1. Acclaimed programs will connect you.

The Princeton Review named Kent State as one of the Best Midwestern Colleges. We feature 282 majors and programs from which to choose. You'll graduate with job-ready skills and career connections.


2. Faculty will hear you.

Our classes are among the smallest you’ll find at any Ohio public university. So faculty work closely with students—a ratio of 19:1, in fact. We go beyond the “open door policy” to cater to students with busy schedules—sometimes meeting in a coffee shop after hours.


3. Campus life will engage you.

Student organizations cover all interests, including academic/professional and honorary/service. Everyone finds their niche at Kent State. So our campus feels smaller than the actual enrollment of 24,000.


4. Financial aid can cover you.

Kent State connects you to financial aid to cover tuition and expenses. But first you must apply to Kent State.


5. Staff will treat you as an individual.

Kent State gives you more than just a degree. You’ll get the personal attention you deserve—every student does. Advisors answer your questions and help determine what you need to reach your goals.
