Aultman College of Nursing and Health Sciences grew out of nursing education associated with Aultman Hospital in Canton, Ohio. Its hospital-based origins still help explain the college's focus on nursing and other health professions.
Today, Aultman College is a small, specialized degree-granting institution rather than a general-purpose university. Applicants interested in its history should distinguish the longstanding nursing school from the college's later expansion into additional degree programs.
Aultman College organizes its academic offerings around health and human services, not a broad collection of separate liberal arts and professional schools. Nursing is central to its identity; its reported fields of study also include radiography, health sciences and social work.
Program choice matters here more than it might at a larger college. A prospective student should compare the specific credential, clinical requirements and course sequence for a program before enrolling. For licensure-oriented fields such as nursing and radiography, admission to the college, admission to the program and eligibility for a professional license are distinct questions.
Aultman College is in Canton, Ohio, in a health care setting associated with Aultman Hospital. That location can be relevant to students seeking clinical education, but it also makes travel to classes and placements a practical consideration.
Akron-Canton Airport is the nearest airport identified in institutional information. Students planning a commute should account for the possibility that clinical schedules and locations differ from classroom schedules.
Aultman College's educational purpose centers on preparing students for health care and related service professions. Its specialized program mix and connection to a hospital distinguish that purpose from the wider academic mission of a comprehensive university.
A mission statement describes an institution's goals, not a measured outcome. Applicants can assess how those goals translate into practice by examining their intended program's curriculum, clinical placements, student support and professional-licensure information.
