Wright State University-Main Campus College of Nursing

The main campus of Wright State University is in Fairborn, Ohio, which is a suburb of Dayton. It was established in 1967 and is named after the Wright brothers. The university began as a branch campus of Ohio State University and Miami University in 1964. Three years later, the campus became an independent university. The university is now divided into three schools and seven colleges, including the College of Nursing and Health. 106 undergraduate and 145 graduate programs are available at the university, including five nursing programs. The university also offers an Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program and an Army ROTC program.

Five CCNE-accredited nursing programs are available at the university. Students may enroll in a traditional BSN, RN to BSN, accelerated BSN, MSN, or DNP program. The traditional program is intended to be completed in four years. The curriculum includes clinical rotations at nearby healthcare facilities. The university maintains partnerships with over 200 agencies in the Dayton area, including rehab centers, hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers, and senior citizens centers. By the end of the program, students complete over 950 hours of clinical practice. To enroll in the BSN program, students must first enroll at Wright State University as a degree-seeking student.
