 A Cleveland State is a
metropolitan university that
provides a rich environment for
engaged learning in an exciting
and dynamic location. Our
students are fond of claiming
that the entire city is their
campus for study, practical
experience, and recreation. And
our pledge to each student is an
engaged learning experience in
the real world, for the real
world, among a diverse student
body.
More than 1,000 courses support
200 major fields of study at the
undergraduate and graduate
levels, as well as professional
certificate and continuing
education programs. Courses of
instruction are offered in
business administration,
education and human services,
engineering, law, liberal arts
and social sciences, science,
and urban affairs. As nearly 90
percent of Cleveland State’s
students work full- or
part-time, flexible academic
programming and convenient class
times are offered. Of our 16,000
students, approximately
one-third are in graduate-level
programs and about half attend
on a part-time basis. The
University also boasts more than
150 student organizations,
including national fraternities
and sororities and NCAA Division
I athletics.
A Dynamic Campus Environment
The Cleveland State campus
consists of 85 acres — the
largest footprint in downtown
Cleveland — with 40 buildings
used for teaching, research,
housing, administration, and
recreation. “Building Blocks for
the Future,” the University’s
$200-plus million campus master
plan, is changing the face of
both campus and downtown
Cleveland while creating a
vibrant living and learning
community in the heart of the
city. New or renovated buildings
include a recreation center;
apartment-style student housing,
a restaurant, an administration
center, a College of Graduate
Studies building, and more. Soon
to come: a new student center
and a College of Education and
Human Services building.
Cleveland State also has
extended campuses in Westlake
and Solon, where students have
access to the same quality
education as they have downtown.
Exceptional Students,
Award-Winning Faculty, Proud
Alumni
Cleveland State reaches out to
academically talented and highly
motivated students through its
Honors Program. And our faculty
is tops, too, with more than 93
percent holding the highest
degree in their field. Four out
of five hold the Ph.D., a figure
unmatched by any other Ohio
university. In 2005-06, CSU
ranked first in Ohio and second
in the nation for faculty
winning the prestigious
Fulbright Scholar Award.
Throughout their engaged
learning experience at CSU,
students interact with these
professors, not graduate
assistants, in classrooms,
laboratories and research teams.
Faculty and staff alike insist
on creating an atmosphere that
promotes intellectual growth and
the creation of new knowledge.
All of our accepted students are
admitted onto the main campus,
not to a branch or a two-year
program within the institution.
The University has more than
94,000 alumni, most of whom have
remained in the Northeast Ohio
area to establish careers, give
back to the community, and raise
their families. Recent research
shows that at nearly 1,000
businesses across the country, a
Cleveland State graduate is at
the helm as founder, chairman,
CEO, president, or top
executive. That’s great company
to keep!
We believe that a first-class
education benefits not only the
graduates of Cleveland State but
the rest of society as well.
Public and private institutions,
corporations, and businesses
have joined as our partners in a
dynamic and engaged learning
experience. With their help, the
University creates an
environment where the
individual, the curriculum, and
the community interact to
achieve the highest levels of
learning. The knowledge students
gain during their studies on our
campus is invaluably augmented
by their experience in the
community, whether as a
participant in our outstanding
cooperative education
opportunities, through service
learning, or as an intern or
member of a groundbreaking
research team. We hope that our
students and alumni will, in
turn, employ their knowledge to
solve problems, stimulate
economic activity, and increase
opportunity in these same
communities.
