Case Study: UC College of Nursing increases cohort diversity with Kira Talent

UC College of Nursing increases cohort diversity by removing barriers in the admissions process

UC College of Nursing, part of the University of Cincinnati, wanted to remove geographic and scheduling barriers in its admissions interviews so it could attract a more diverse pool of nursing applicants. The college needed a virtual option that would support its holistic admissions process while still allowing reviewers to assess applicants beyond academics and better identify the skills needed for success.

Kira Talent provided the solution with a virtual interview platform and horizontal review capabilities, helping UC College of Nursing evaluate competencies more consistently and improve reviewer flexibility. As a result, the college reported increased ethnic, racial, geographic, and socioeconomic diversity, along with more first-generation college students in its programs, expanding access to applicants nationwide.
