Provost

Welcome to the home of academic affairs at Kent State University. We are glad you are interested in this great university.

As Provost, I oversee all academic programs, including our ten colleges and schools, our eight campuses, and a variety of programs such as Undergraduate Studies, Faculty Affairs, and Quality Initiatives and Curriculum. 

Kent State is northeast Ohio's largest university and the second largest higher educational institution in the state. Our size is matched by our high standards and outstanding quality, and recently we were named one of the world's top 200 universities by Times Higher Education. 

I encourage you to explore our Web site for more information regarding Academic Affairs here at Kent State:

• Visit our majors and degrees page to use our degree search and graduation planning system (GPS) tools to peruse the diverse academic programs offered at our eight locations.
• Take a look at our Office of Global Education page to learn about opportunities to study abroad in one of our many exchange programs.
• See our online learning page to learn about Kent State's distance education courses, online certificate options, and fully online degree programs.

Thank you for your interest in Kent State University. We are proud of our university, and encourage you to visit campus to see for yourself all of the opportunities our community offers.

Todd A. Diacon, Ph.D.

Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost
