Cleveland State University Reviews

"Cleveland State University is a very unique institution. It is placed almost in the middle of downtown Cleveland and provides you with all the entertainment you could ask for. I will complete my Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry in May 2017 then I will go on to pharmacy school with hopes of becoming a clinical pharmacist. Cleveland State's professors have prepared me very well for my future career, and I think they played a big part in helping me do very well on my PCAT exam. Most of the professors in the Chemistry department are currently conducting cutting edge research of their own which makes them very knowledgeable and engaged in the courses they are teaching. Cleveland State's advisers make scheduling a breeze and they make sure you take all of the courses needed to complete your specific degree. I am very pleased with my decision to attend Cleveland State because I know they have equipped me with a solid base of knowledge that I will need for my future."

"CSU isn't a bad university - it's just that there are better options for the cost. If you're considering CSU - I implore you to consider 2 years at Tric C first and then applying to a well known online program like WGU that will cost less and give you a better education"

"This program teaches real life application in a realistic setting. The program is responsive to students needs and offers great networking and internships in the local community. The campus could improve on safety. This college offers an evening program that is flexible for students who work. The scholarships are generous but hard to maintain."

"One of the main things I love about Cleveland State University is the diversity. Its like having over hundred countries on one campus, which is beyond priceless. No only are the in-state residents hospitable and friendly, they are also willing to lend a helping hand when needed."

"The business school facility is excellent, very modern and clean and in a good location for commuting from outside Cleveland, as well as accessing other on-campus resources. I do feel that many of the core courses could challenge students a little more, in the way that the capstone strategy course does, but nonetheless the educational opportunities are great."

"It's. Great school to grow your knowledge while also continuing to work full time. Very reasonable price compared to other area schools."

"It is wonderful college with full of resources. The engineering department has very good programs."

"It was a good program. I attended when the program was relatively new. I learned a great deal, but because it was a Master's Program it focused mostly on theories. I wish it was more hands on."

"This is a local commuter school that has made a lot of structural improvements in more recent years. They do not offer much in terms of career services, but they have a wide variety of degree programs available in-person and online. The school is getting better, but there are still many challenges."

"I had an opportunity to be educated through Cleveland State University's Education department with the concentration of Sport Management. Under this program I was engrained with the knowledge necessary to pursue a career in athletic administration or management. The program helped develop my research ability through many rigorous courses and broadened my scope of understanding culturally sensitive issues as it pertains to sport attendance and participation. With Dr. Lam as the chair and Dr. Patterson as the Dean of Education it was a tough road because these two professors expect excellence from their students. Dr. Lam is always available, spending many late nights on campus assisting students with research, proposals and IRB requirements for Doctorate programs. Dr. Patterson always welcomes all her students with a heartfelt smile and will do everything that she can to assist you in graduation and beyond. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to go through his program if they are looking to grow in the sports administration field."

"Cleveland State University is a great school with an excellent business program that has been accredited by AACSB. Offers a wide range of classes to accommodate all types of students with convenient classes on line and in class. In state tuition is most comparable to other colleges and the school also offers payment plans to students to make school more affordable."

"CSU is a great, smaller college for students that want a decent education for cheaper. The staff in the business building are very kind and caring and try their best to get you as far as possible while obtaining your degree. They advertise co-ops, internships, and they help place you once you're completed with your degree. Overall, a good education for the money."

"The MAGI (Master's of Arts in Global Interactions) was a newly developed degree upon my election to pursue it. The degree offers the applicant to pursue a focus in either Politics or Business, with one incorporating some of the other in either case. I elected to pursue a Political focus. The courses are quite interesting and it was certainly a degree in which you will expand your knowledge of the intertwined relationship economics plays in international politics through government and NGO's alike. Unfortunately the degree does little in the way of career-building. Only during one of my interviews, post-graduation did they show any kind of excitement for the degree (a government agency.) I did however gain employment shortly after graduation, but in no way was this because of this degree, rather my work experience and Bachelor's degree. CSU aimed high with this innovative degree, however it lacks the 'meat' to hold much worth in the competitive job-search market."

"Its an urban college. The campus is expanding, and becoming more of a less commuter college. Many majors and minors to pick from."

"I appreciated the accessibility of professors regarding their classes. Each professor made a true effort, and it was obvious that they cared deeply about subject matter and students. Cleveland State was far less expensive than Rutgers, from which I transferred, and was a far better value and investment."

"The program I attended was different than almost any program in the country. I also had an assistantship that helped me to pay for college. The professors were not only knowledgeable but honest about my progress and what I needed to work on personally and professionally in order to do well after I earned the degree. I took their advice and it is still paying off today. I am very happy with my career choice and give a great amount of credit to my Cleveland State education and to the network of peers that I met while a student in the program."

"My time at Cleveland State was exactly what I wanted it to be. College is about learning to be independent. Professors don't force you to be a good student, but you will be greatly rewarded for making an effort to become one. The Department of Student Life does not force you to be involved in extracurricular activities, but you will learn more about who you are and what you want to do outside of the classroom than inside of the classroom. Opportunities to make the most of your education and your free time are ever-growing at CSU. I highly recommend CSU to anyone seeking post-secondary education. I hope to return to CSU within the next year to pursue a Graduate Level degree - if I'm willing to attend twice, I think it's worth your attention once."

"The professors had great knowledge in the topics they were teaching. The college is constantly evolving which is great for new students"

"Its an amazing course for who loves math and logical calculations. Its not very tough and you have a possibility to work with too many diferent areas like enviorment, construction, geotech, among others."

"I absolutely loved my classes and I enjoyed my experience. However, I do wish that I had chosen a major in which I could earn a bachelor's degree that is useful without further education. I hadn't ever considered not getting into a graduate program because my high grades, my involvement in clubs and organization, and my completion of an extensive undergraduate thesis, however it is always a possibility that you may not get into graduate school. Choose your major wisely so that you can find a decent career without a masters degree."
