The University:
Kent State, founded in 1910 as a teacher-training school, has a proud history of meeting the evolving needs of Northeast Ohio and the nation. As we pursue our second century of service, it is appropriate that cyberspace is a crucial point of contact between the university and the many constituencies we serve in Ohio and far beyond. Kent State University is committed to offering a rich learning environment that helps students develop intellectual rigor and marketable skills, as well as a capacity for lifelong learning. Kent State must continue to provide a robust undergraduate education to meet the academic goals of a broad range of students.

With a network of eight campuses conveniently located throughout Northeast Ohio, Kent State University offers educational opportunities ranging from certificate programs, associate's, bachelor's, master's, educational specialist, and doctoral degrees to more than 34,000 students. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching ranks Kent State among the top 90 public research universities in the country. The rich academic offerings of Kent State University bring to campus students from diverse backgrounds, who require a wide range of services to assist them in their pursuit of higher education. After studying the characteristics of students who attend Kent State, and those who wish to attend, the administration has created or modified student services to address the needs of the student body.
