Chamberlain University’s Growing Presence in Ohio: Introducing the Cincinnati Campus

Chamberlain University has an established presence in Ohio as a provider of nursing education. With a campus in Columbus and a comprehensive online Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program available statewide, Chamberlain has been serving Ohio nursing students with flexible, high-quality education designed to meet the demands of today’s healthcare landscape. Now, Chamberlain is deepening that commitment with the addition of a new campus in Cincinnati. 

Currently enrolling new students for fall 2026, the Cincinnati campus represents Chamberlain’s continued investment in Ohio’s nursing workforce. This purpose-built, modern nursing education facility will bring accessible, community-focused nursing education directly to students in the Greater Cincinnati area, providing another pathway for aspiring nurses to earn their BSN degree close to home.

Expanding Access Across Ohio

Ohio nursing students now have more options than ever to pursue their BSN with Chamberlain University. Whether you prefer the hands-on experience of a campus setting in Columbus or Cincinnati, or the flexibility of online learning from anywhere in the state, Chamberlain offers a BSN option to suit your learning preferences. 

For those in the greater Cincinnati area, this new campus location places nursing education closer to where you live and work. Students across Ohio can choose the learning environment that best supports their personal and professional needs.

What Makes Chamberlain University Stand Out

The university brings more than a century of nursing education expertise to Ohio. The Cincinnati campus is designed to deliver the same educational approach that characterizes all of Chamberlain’s nursing programs, with features that support student success such as:

• Support When You Need It

  Chamberlain understands that nursing students often study at unconventional hours while balancing work, family, and personal commitments. That’s why the university provides 24/7 access to online coursework and tech support. And whether you need AI-powered tutoring assistance, access to professional tutors, or direct faculty support, academic help is also available at Chamberlain. Our comprehensive support system ensures you’re never alone on your educational journey.

• NCLEX Preparation Built Into Your Education

  Success on the NCLEX exam is crucial for your nursing career, which is why Chamberlain integrates NCLEX preparation throughout your program. Rather than leaving licensure exam preparation to the last minute, you’ll start building the knowledge and test-taking skills you need from day one.

• Accessible Entry, Accelerated Timeline

  Chamberlain University’s BSN program removes common barriers to nursing education. There’s no application fee, and no prerequisite courses are required. The three-year BSN program offers an accelerated academic timeline compared to some traditional programs. And if you’re ready to begin your nursing journey, you can start immediately with Cincinnati’s nursing school programs.

• Purpose-Built Learning Environment

  The new Cincinnati campus features modern facilities designed specifically for nursing education. From state-of-the-art simulation labs to collaborative learning spaces, every aspect of the campus is built to support your success as a future nurse. You’ll have access to the same cutting-edge technology and immersive learning experiences that prepare Chamberlain students nationwide for a future working in healthcare.

Flexible Learning Options for Every Student

Chamberlain understands that every nursing student’s situation is unique. That’s why the university offers multiple pathways to earn your BSN in Ohio:

• Campus-Based Learning: Attend classes at the Columbus location or the new Cincinnati campus where you will experience hybrid online learning and in-person coursework. 
• Online BSN Program: Complete your degree entirely online while living anywhere in Ohio, with in-person clinical rotations arranged by the university.
• Hybrid Option: Combine online coursework with on-campus experiences for a blended learning approach.
  This flexibility allows you to design an educational path that works with your schedule, whether you’re a recent high school graduate, a career-changer, or a working professional looking to advance in healthcare.

Taking the Next Step

Applications for the Cincinnati campus will open on May 13, 2026, giving prospective students plenty of time to explore whether Chamberlain University is the right fit for their nursing education goals.
