Aeronautics
Technology
If a student sets their sights a little higher at
Kent State, they can focus on one of five concentrations within Aeronautics Technology.
At Kent State, students can major in Air Traffic Control (ATC), one of 35
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved collegiate programs in the
nation. These positions are readily available after graduation. Most current
ATCs are of retirement age due to the fact that they were hired after President
Reagan, in 1981, fired any ATC who went on strike because he felt they were
creating a threat to public safety.
Other notable programs in this school are Flight Technology
where students fly two hours a day and Aviation Management where students earn
a business degree in aviation.
The Aeronautics Technology program is not to be confused
with an Aeronautical Engineering program. At Kent State, the program is
designed to be highly technical and of precise nature for aerospace design and
manufacturing
The
Fashion School
The Fashion School of Design and Merchandising at
Kent State University is the 3rd ranked program in the nation and 13th
in the world. The Fashion School has graduates highly sought after by many
national companies. Their connections to many elite Ohio companies such as
Joanne Fabrics, Abercrombrie & Fitch, Express and even the Cleveland
Indians. These connections are important because an internship is required in
the program. KSU provides an industry liaison to present updates on the job
market and offer internship information.
At the end of program, students enroll in a
Professional Seminar. Here, students gain practical information in the fashion
industry. This final program course is designed to combine all the student’s
coursework in order to create a catalog and a personal line of clothing. The
student will then design marketing materials and a portfolio for future use in
this industry. Most work done in this Senior Seminar helps in the design and
staging of the annual program fashion show. Other unique courses students can
take in the program are Buying, Event Production and Presentation.
College
of Architecture and Environmental Design
This very intense, hands on 4+1 program (student
will earn and undergraduate and graduate degree once completed) has a competitive
admissions process, with ninety freshmen receiving direct entrance into the
graduate program. All board reviewed applications must meet these minimum
requirements: top 20% of high school class, SAT 1180+ or ACT 25 + (with Math
and English both needed above 25) and at least a 3.0 high school GPA.
If admitted into to this competitive program,
students will learn the fundamentals in architectural design, theory and
history. As the coursework progresses, students will develop their skills in
design and building technologies. Their program concludes in an Integrated
Design Competition Studio. This program encompasses the knowledge acquired at
KSU brought out in the studio experience.
Out
of State Scholarships
Kent State University is currently addressing the
geographic diversity of their campus by creating the University Award. This $3980
scholarship is available to all non-Ohio residents who meet the basic university
entrance requirements. This generous scholarship reduces the cost of attendance
for out-of-state students to approximately $22,000 a year. Other potential
scholarships available for one-half of the out-of-state surcharge are the President
Scholarship for higher academically earning students or the President Grant for
a child or stepchild of a Kent State graduate. During the 2012-2013 school
year, Kent State awarded up to $325 million respectively.
