elcome to Cleveland State University, the home of engaged learning!
Established in 1964 as a small state university, Cleveland State University has grown into a vibrant urban campus in the heart of downtown. With over 175 academic programs and several thousand internships offered every year, there are many ways for students to get involved in their major, both on campus and in their field of study.
Students at Cleveland State University have the opportunity to work and learn alongside industry professionals in every program, whether they are Grammy Award winning musicians, Cleveland Clinic health professionals, or Fulbright Scholars. Our internship and co-op programs get students out of the classroom and into the field, giving them the chance to learn by experience.
Our campus is within walking distance of Playhouse Square, Progressive Field, Quicken Loans Arena, East Fourth Street, and many more exciting destinations.
CSU students enjoy many benefits, including small class sizes (with an average class size of 23 students), an RTA pass for public transit, a student ticket program for local entertainment, and free entry to university sporting events. Being in the heart of downtown Cleveland has its perks!
