Cleveland State offers admission to current high school students through the College Credits Plus program. We offer admission at the undergraduate (bachelor and post -baccalaureate), graduate (master and doctorate), and law degree level. Additionally, we offer admission for both undergraduate and graduate certificate and licensure programs. Students may also attend as guests (non-degree, transient, cross-registration, or through our Project 60 program) or enroll as a dual admission/partnership program student with three of the area community colleges (Lakeland, Lorain, and Tri-C). International Students may apply via our Cleveland State University Global Office.
