Capital University
Capital University is a private institution in Bexley, Ohio, which is a suburb of Columbus. It was established in 1830 as the Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Ohio. It is the oldest university in the central Ohio area and one of the oldest Lutheran-affiliated universities in the country. The university offers over 60 majors, including several nursing majors. The campus includes several academic buildings and over 70 student organizations. The academic buildings include a few properties that are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The campus area is now referred to as the Capital University Historic District.
The university offers four nursing programs – traditional BSN, accelerated BSN, RN to BSN, and MSN. All four programs are accredited by the CCNE. Students who already have a bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing field may enroll in the accelerated BSN program. This program can be completed in 20 months, with a traditional daytime schedule. They also offer a hybrid track that is designed to be completed in 24 months and includes evening classes. Students who are enrolled in the traditional BSN program get to receive hands-on experience at local healthcare clinics and hospitals. In fact, the school has partnerships with over 20 hospitals and 80 community health organizations.
