There’s a reason we’re the No. 1 university in Ohio for social mobility. At CSU, everyone matters. Our journeys look different, but we are united in our determination to lift each other up, explore interests, carve out futures, advance our fields of study and impact Northeast Ohio for years to come.
We are resilient and innovative, inspired to finish what we started. That’s why our transfer students feel right at home. Nearly 40% of CSU undergrads are transfer students committed to earning a bachelor’s degree. Classes are just the starting point.
