Ohio State University began offering nursing courses as a part of the Homeopathic Hospital Training Program for Nursing in 1914. In 1928, the Homeopathic Hospital Training Program for Nurses was renamed simply to the School of Nursing, which also began a five-year education program in nursing. Ohio State offered both the three- and five- year programs as options for students looking to major in nursing—both of these programs led to a Bachelor of Science in Education with a diploma in nursing. However, in 1936, the School of Nursing no longer offered the three-year program to students; the five-year program was the only option. Later on, Ohio State University dissolved the program from the Education Department and, instead, merged the nursing program into the College of Medicine. The average four-year program was introduced in 1941; the degree for nursing also changed to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The Master of Science in Nursing was first available to students in 1954, while the PhD for nursing was offered in 1985. In 1966, the School of Nursing acquired a new building for its studies. The School of Nursing was a part of the College of Medicine until 1984, after which the School of Nursing dissented into its own college, officially titled as the Ohio State University College of Nursing.
