Chamberlain University-Ohio

What is the history of Chamberlain University-Ohio?

Chamberlain University-Ohio is the Columbus, Ohio, campus of Chamberlain University, a private university focused on nursing and health professions education. It is a campus of the larger university, not a separately named Ohio university with its own institutional accreditation.

Chamberlain traces its origins to the Deaconess School of Nursing, established in St. Louis in 1889. The institution later operated as Chamberlain College of Nursing and adopted the Chamberlain University name as its academic offerings expanded. That history explains both its continued emphasis on nursing and the distinction prospective students should make between university-wide offerings and programs available at the Columbus campus.

What are the faculties and departments at Chamberlain University-Ohio?

The Columbus campus is principally a nursing campus. Its central undergraduate pathway is the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), which combines nursing coursework with laboratory, simulation and supervised clinical learning.

University-wide, Chamberlain organizes programs through its College of Nursing and College of Health Professions. Chamberlain also offers graduate and other health-related programs, but a program appearing in the university catalog should not be assumed to meet in person in Columbus. Applicants should check the current catalog and their intended program's campus designation, delivery format, clinical requirements and authorization in the state where they expect to practice.

What is the location of Chamberlain University-Ohio?

Chamberlain University-Ohio is in Columbus, Ohio. For nursing students, the practical location question is not just how to reach campus: clinical education can require travel to healthcare sites on schedules that differ from classroom hours.

Columbus is a metropolitan area with hospitals and other healthcare employers, but a student's particular clinical placement is determined through the program rather than by choosing a nearby facility independently. Prospective commuters should ask how far placements may be from campus, whether early or evening shifts are possible, and what transportation they will need throughout the program.

What is the mission and vision of Chamberlain University-Ohio?

Chamberlain states that its mission is to educate a diverse healthcare workforce and advance the health of individuals and communities. Its stated vision emphasizes what it calls "Chamberlain Care," an approach intended to connect care for students with care for patients and communities.

Those statements describe the university's educational aims, not a measured outcome for every student. Applicants can assess how the philosophy operates in Columbus by asking about faculty access, simulation, clinical supervision and support when a student needs academic help.
