Ohio University To Consider Expanding Nursing Program at Lancaster Campus

(Athens) – Ohio University Board of Trustees will consider expanding the nursing program onto the Lancaster campus during its meetings April 7-8.

Next steps would include approval by the Ohio Board of Nursing, Ohio Department of Higher Education, and the Higher Learning Commission. Admission into the Lancaster campus pre-BSN major is anticipated for Fall 2022, with admission to the BSN major expected for Fall 2023.

The Board will meet from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, April 7, and 9:15 a.m. to noon Friday, April 8, for its regular meetings in Walter Hall on the Athens Campus.
