School of the Built Environment
The School of the Built Environment (SBE) capitalizes on the integration between architecture and construction management, where students in the two disciplines learn and collaborate, much as architects and construction managers do in their careers. The SBE offers undergraduate and graduate programs through two departments, the Department of Architecture and Environmental Design, and the Department of Construction Management, both housed in Kokosing Hall. The Master of Architecture program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), and the B.S. in Construction Management is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). The SBE has 16 full-time faculty and staff, complemented with professional adjunct instructors; they teach and mentor approximately 500 students. The SBE has experienced substantial enrollment growth during the last five years, more than doubling in size since 2022. The School Director would lead a distinctive school with accredited professional programs, conducive facilities, and strong industry connections.
College of Engineering and Innovation
The SBE is one of three schools in the College of Engineering and Innovation (CEI), alongside the School of Aviation and the School of Engineering. Together they offer 21 undergraduate and graduate programs. The College has made experiential learning a pillar of its identity: the CEI’s nationally accredited cooperative education program has placed students with more than 5,000 companies since its founding. The new Technology Engineering Innovation Center adds collaborative labs and industry grade equipment to the College’s facilities. The College is also in a period of growth: the School of Aviation runs Ohio’s largest flight program through a partnership with the Bowling Green Flight Center and an airport on campus, and the School of Engineering, reconfigured in 2023, has added degrees in robotics, mechanical and manufacturing, and electronic and computer engineering.
The College has developed a statement of vision, mission, and core values to guide its work. Its vision states that “The College aspires to lead by driving the societal, economic and environmental vitality of the region, the nation, and the world through creative and impactful engagement in teaching, experiential learning, scholarship and research.” Its mission reads: “The College cultivates a vibrant learning and scholarly environment founded on collaborative programs and industry partnerships that engage our students and our community in critical thinking, creative problem-solving and lifelong learning.” Six core values put that mission into practice: a student experience centered on success and career readiness; a collaborative community that recognizes and develops the strengths of its faculty and staff; multidisciplinary, accredited curricula strengthened by practical experience tied to industry and by cooperative education; fundamental and applied research conducted with students, industry, and the community; facilities that integrate emerging technologies to support teaching, workforce development, and research; and partnerships that prepare professionals and inspire the next generation of innovators.
Bowling Green State University
The CEI is part of Bowling Green State University (BGSU), a comprehensive, high research university in northwestern Ohio. As a “Public University for the Public Good,” BGSU is committed to driving economic and cultural vitality in the region and beyond. Through innovative teaching, research and creative activities, BGSU fosters a collaborative and inclusive learning community where inspired ideas, knowledge and achievements support the region, state and nation. More than 760 talented and passionate faculty members teach across more than 200 undergraduate majors and programs, 17 doctoral programs, and 57 master’s programs. A focus on promoting research, scholarship, and creative activities has resulted in a significant increase in extramural funding over the past several years.
Guided by Forward, BGSU’s strategic plan, the University is focused on redefining student success. For the fifth year in a row, The Wall Street Journal ranks BGSU as the No. 1 public university in the Midwest that students would choose again. BGSU also holds the Wall Street Journal distinction of being the No. 1 public university in Ohio for the student experience.

Search School Nurse Jobs in OhioSchool Nurse Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for school nurses in Ohio?
The largest Ohio school districts are the most consistent sponsors, including Columbus City Schools, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Cincinnati Public Schools, and Akron Public Schools. Some districts work through healthcare staffing organizations that manage the sponsorship process on their behalf. Larger suburban districts surrounding Columbus and Cleveland also periodically sponsor for school nurse roles when qualified local candidates are scarce.
Which visa types are most common for school nurse roles in Ohio?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa for school nurses in Ohio, provided the role meets specialty occupation requirements, which typically requires holding at least a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Some districts and healthcare staffing firms have also sponsored school nurses through the EB-3 immigrant visa pathway. Public school districts classified as nonprofit or government entities may qualify as cap-exempt H-1B employers, which can simplify the process.
Which cities in Ohio have the most school nurse sponsorship jobs?
Columbus has the highest concentration of school nurse sponsorship opportunities, driven by the size of Columbus City Schools and surrounding Franklin County districts. Cleveland and Cincinnati follow closely, with their large urban school systems and affiliated healthcare networks. Dayton and Toledo also see periodic openings. Suburban districts around Columbus, such as Hilliard and Westerville, occasionally sponsor as well.
How to find school nurse visa sponsorship jobs in Ohio?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find school nurse visa sponsorship jobs in Ohio. The platform filters job listings specifically for roles where employers have indicated sponsorship willingness, saving you from manually screening hundreds of postings. You can filter by Ohio and search for school nurse roles to see current opportunities. This is especially useful given how inconsistently sponsorship availability is disclosed across district job boards.
Are there state-specific considerations for school nurses seeking sponsorship in Ohio?
Ohio requires school nurses to hold a valid Registered Nurse license issued by the Ohio Board of Nursing, along with a School Nurse license from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. International nurses must ensure their credentials are evaluated and that their RN license is in good standing before an employer can proceed with sponsorship. Some districts prioritize candidates who already hold Ohio licensure, so beginning that process early is important.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored school nurse jobs in Ohio?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
