Academics

Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 4,423 of Kent State University at Kent's 26,106 students (17%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 11,860 (45%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

What is the graduation rate at Kent State University at Kent?
Kent State University at Kent reports a graduation rate of approximately 64%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window.

Students who borrowed at Kent State University at Kent left with a median of approximately $24,500 in federal loans, and about 50% of students took federal loans at all.

This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
