Dean Vera Vogelsang-Coombs

Welcome to the College of Graduate Studies at Cleveland State University. The College is northeast Ohio's largest school of graduate and professional programs.

CSU has more than eighty graduate degree, certificate, licensure, and accelerated 4+1 programs in which the University prepares the next generation of scientists, scholars, leaders, managers, professionals, and performers.

As a graduate student, you are a very important member of the CSU family. By working with the faculty in your graduate programs, you are a part of the University’s community of scholars engaged in teaching, research, and public service.

CSU’s graduate faculty and graduate programs are well known regionally, nationally, and across the globe. Our faculty will expect many good things from you, and they will hold you to high academic standards. Our sustained commitment to you is the University’s “engaged learning” approach.

Explore Cleveland. Cleveland is nestled on the banks of Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River, and the Emerald Necklace national park system surrounds the city.

One can hear more than eighty different languages spoken in Cleveland. Cleveland exemplifies the diversity of the 21st century, and the city provides a wonderful learning environment. Take time to enjoy the city’s cultural attractions and big-time sports.

The core values of the College of Graduate Studies are excellence, diversity, opportunity, and service. You should experience nothing less in your graduate studies at CSU.
