U.S. News & World Report ranks 11 Kent State University programs among the best in the nation in its recently released 2023-2024 Best Graduate Schools rankings.

The Kent State University alumni family will grow by about 5,500 new graduates as the university holds its spring commencement ceremonies. 

“The Power of Our Voices” theme inspired this year’s May 4 Commemoration events and programming, which focused on tying May 4 and the anti-war movement of 1970 to emerging movements today.

Kent State University is proving that it is the place to be for fall 2023 with a record-breaking number of applications, a record-breaking number of students who have been accepted for admission into the university and a record-breaking number of students who have made deposits to confirm their attendance in the fall. 

A five-week pilot project funded by a $15,000 Teagle Foundation Knowledge for Freedom Program grant will be held at Kent State this summer for Upward Bound and Firestone High School students.
