CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY
VISION
Central State University is the premier Land Grant institution of excellence in teaching, learning and research that
embraces diversity and innovation in a global society.
MISSION
Central State University a proud HBCU, fosters academic excellence within a nurturing living-learning environment and
graduates a diverse population prepared for leadership, research, and service in Ohio and beyond.
PURPOSE
The purpose of Central State University is to provide opportunities in higher education for the citizens of Ohio and other
qualified applicants, including both national and international students.
Central State University is dedicated to:
• providing a nurturing and culturally enriched learning environment;
• stimulating in students an intellectual curiosity and a continuous search for knowledge;
• teaching students to think critically and communicate effectively;
• instilling in students an aspiration for excellence through teaching, service, and scholarly research;
• preparing students to address the challenges of a technologically oriented world;
• providing quality educational programs in scientific and technological fields;
• offering programs with multicultural and global perspectives;
• reaching out to underserved populations; and
• collaborating with other educational institutions, business organizations and government agencies to enrich
learning experiences and educational opportunities for students.
HISTORY
Central State University’s history begins with our parent institution Wilberforce University, named in honor of the great
abolitionist William Wilberforce. Established at Tawawa Springs, Ohio, in 1856, it is affiliated with the African Methodist
Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and is one of the oldest Black-administered institutions of higher education in the nation.
In 1887, the Ohio General Assembly enacted legislation that created a Combined Normal and Industrial Department at
Wilberforce University. The objectives of this new state-sponsored department were to provide teacher training and
vocational education, and to stabilize these programs by assuring a financial base similar to that of other state-
supported institutions.
The statute establishing the Combined Normal and Industrial Department declared that the institution was ‘open to all
applicants of good and moral character, thereby indicating no limitations as to race, color, sex, or creed. It was clear,
however, that the Department and its successors were designed to serve the educational needs of African-American
students.
Although this Department operated as part of Wilberforce University in most respects, a separate board of trustees was
appointed to govern the state-financed operations. In 1941, the Department expanded from a two- to a four-year
program, and in 1947, it legally split from Wilberforce, becoming the College of Education and Industrial Arts at
Wilberforce. The name was changed in 1951 to Central State College, and in 1965, the institution achieved university
status. The University has grown steadily since its founding. In recent years, it has added new academic programs,
established a new College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture and constructed a new Student Center, a
8
new academic building, and four new residence halls. This year it will complete construction of a new residential
wellness center.
The University has grown steadily since its founding. There are four Colleges: Education; Engineering, Science,
Technology, and Agriculture; Business; and Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. Additionally, new academic
programs have been added along with a School of Agricultural Education and Food Science, an 85,000 sq. ft.,
University Student Center, and five residence halls. The most recent residence hall opened in fall 2019 and is the
University’s first 250-bed apartment-style facility. In summer 2020, the University celebrated the grand opening
of the Botanical Garden, which will serve the campus and local communities by providing a space to engage in and
observe the benefits of meditation and agricultural best practices.
Dr. Jack Thomas took office as the ninth president of Central State University on July 1, 2020, bringing decades of
successful academic leadership.
President Thomas has laid out an ambitious agenda for his tenure as the ninth president at Central State University.
The signature objectives of his presidency are as follows.
1. Continue to meet and enhance the 1890 Land-Grant mission
2. Increase enrollment (globally and in diversity)
3. Improve retention and graduation rates.
4. Develop a marketing and rebranding campaign.
5. Launch a multimillion-dollar capital campaign.
6. Develop an Honors College to recruit high-achieving students.
7. Increase degree offerings, offer graduate studies, and provide flexibility in course delivery
8. Build a new learning and living environment.
9. Update the University strategic and master plans.
Today, as an 1890 Land-Grant Institution, Central State University is expanding science, technology, engineering,
agricultural, and mathematics (STEAM) academic programming, research, and education; developing partnerships within
Ohio’s agricultural industry; enhancing facilities; and engaging the local communities, all for the future growth and
sustainability of the University.
Central State University embraces change: but one thing that has not changed is its continuing commitment to providing
an excellent, affordable education to residents of Ohio and beyond. Our future is bright!
LOCATIONS
Central State University’s main campus is located in Wilberforce, Ohio, four miles northeast of Xenia and 18 miles east of
Dayton. The main campus is midway between Cincinnati and Columbus on U.S. 42, about 55 miles from each city. Airline,
bus, and taxi services are available in Dayton.
Central State University – Dayton, the university’s satellite location, is located at 840 Germantown Street, Dayton, Ohio.
THE CAMPUS
Central State University has facilities valued at more than $95 million dollars, including: the Joshua I. Smith Center for
Education and Natural Sciences; University Student Center; the Mass Communications Center; the McLin Center for Water
Resources Management; the Paul Robeson Cultural and Performing Arts Center; the Hallie Q. Brown Memorial Library;
the Newsom Administration Building; the Ward University Center; the Galloway Tower; the Walter G. Sellers Alumni
Center; and the Louis Stokes Center on Aging.
9
The Hallie Q. Brown Memorial Library has approximately 169,380 volumes, 590,000+ microfilms, a periodical collection of
2,058 titles, and an audiovisual collection of 4,348 pieces. The library is an integral part of the Ohio Library and Information
Network (OHIOLINK), which links the state library and 59 Ohio private and public institutions of higher learning. Through
the university library’s computer workstations, CSU students and faculty can access any of the library holdings of the other
member institutions. Additionally, the CSU library maintains membership in the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher
Education (SOCHE), a consortium of 17 academic, community, and special libraries that engage in cooperative acquisition
of expensive and little-used materials that would be beyond the reach of an individual library. CSU faculty and students
may borrow items directly from most of these participating libraries.
Athletic facilities include the Walker Gymnasium, the Beacom-Lewis Gymnasium for intercollegiate basketball, tennis and
racquetball courts, and McPherson Stadium for football and special events, and practice fields.
The campus terrain is rolling and planted in lawns accented by flowering shrubs, trees, and flower beds, and centered by
the attractive Sunken Gardens. Spacious paved walkways make foot travel across the campus easy and convenient.
Across Brush Row Road and along U.S. 42 is the University’s outdoor education area, a natural reserve, and within a
hundred yards of the Robeson Center is the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center, an outstanding facility
that chronicles African American history and sponsors a variety of programs.
Central State University – Dayton offers an array of evening and weekends classes for students seeking to receive a degree
or obtain professional development.
STUDENTS AND FACULTY
Central State University’s enrollment was 6,044 students in the Fall of 2021.
Central State University employs more than 100 full-time and adjunct faculty. In addition to their teaching and research,
faculty members at Central State have a deep commitment to helping students outside the classroom, especially in
academic advising and mentoring throughout the year. The faculty serve as academic advisors to students in their
respective academic disciplines.

STUDENT AFFAIRS
Dr. D’Angelo Taylor, Vice President for Student Affairs
UNIVERSITY STUDENT CENTER
The University Student Center houses the following Student Affairs and Enrollment Management offices: Vice President
for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, Dean of Students, Career Services, Marauder Leadership and
Engagement, Marauder Community Standards and Service, and Office of Violence Against Women. This 85,000 square
foot facility also houses the Marauder Zone Barnes and Nobles Bookstore, the 500-seat Marauder Market Place
cafeteria, the WOW Café, a game room, and multiple meeting spaces. This center is the hub of student life here at
Central State University.
OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS
The Office of Admissions serves as the primary recruitment arm for all undergraduate and transfer students to the
University. Recruitment occurs through visits to high schools and college fairs located in-state, out-of-state and
internationally. Potential students express interest by completing an online application and the Admissions officer
receives and evaluates the application for the purpose of offering admittance to the University. The Admissions Office
works in collaboration with other major offices (registrar, financial aid, cash management, student health services and
residence life) and academic colleges to plan and schedule Student Orientation Admissions and Registration (SOAR)
events for new students who are starting in the fall or spring semesters. Annual recruitment campus events sponsored
by the Office of Admissions are College Preview Day (fall) and spring Open House/SOAR. These events introduce
potential students to the academic colleges, student organizations, the CSU Marching band /auxiliaries, the CSU Chorus,
and includes tours of the campus/residential halls. Pirate Week occurs a week before the start of the fall semester and is
for new students. The Office of Admissions is an intricate part of the SAEM staff that oversees activities that are rich in
tradition with a primary focus on helping students transition to campus. The Admissions Office is located on the ground
floor in the Norman E. Ward, Sr. Center which is also where visitors are greeted by the campus tour guides and student
ambassadors.
DEAN OF STUDENTS
The Dean of Students Office serves an integral role in aiding in students personal, leadership, and educational
development. The staff in the Dean of Students office (Marauder Leadership and Engagement, Marauder Community
Standards and Service, Career Services, Residential Life, and the Office of Violence Against Women) strive to provide
programs and services that enhance the collegiate experience. A champion of holistic engagement and growth, the Dean
of Students is available to all students and encourages them to contact the office with questions, concerns or to express
interest in being more engaged in university activities.
MARAUDER LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT
The Office of Marauder Leadership and Engagement (MLE) provides opportunities for student growth and development
through educational, civic, cultural, social and recreational programs and activities implemented by the staff, student
organizations, and academic departments. The MLE office creates purposeful experiences for students that promote
leadership, life skills, and personal development while enhancing campus life. The MLE staff works collaboratively with
other departments and student organizations to host traditional events and leadership opportunities such as New
Student Orientation, Welcome Week, Pirate Week, Homecoming, Spring Fest, and the Aspiring Leadership Institute.
Being involved in a student club or organization allows students the opportunity to become engaged in student life and
17
to enrich their academic and social experiences. Central State University has numerous clubs and organizations that
students may join to find their niche on campus or to meet other students with similar interests.
MARAUDER COMMUNITY STANDARDS AND SERVICE
Central State University is committed to an academic and community environment consistent with the University’s
stated tenets of Service…Protocol…Civility. Central State expects all members of the university community to share in its
commitment to academic honesty, personal integrity, and behavioral maturity. All students are expected to cooperate in
maintaining high standards of personal conduct, social responsibility, and commitment to service. Stated objectives and
regulations governing student conduct are detailed in the Student Code of Conduct Handbook and it is the responsibility
of every student to become knowledgeable of these regulations. Standards set forth in the Student Code of Conduct
Handbook are carefully written and regularly reviewed by a committee of students, faculty, and staff members. The
Code of Student Conduct Handbook is available online through the Central State University website. Attending Central
State University is a privilege, not a right, and may be forfeited by any student who does not abide by the regulations of
the University or who is unwilling to adjust to the University environment through responsible conduct of high moral
and ethical standards. Thus, students who violate the Student Code of Conduct are subject to the judicial process that
may result in disciplinary consequences (arranging from community service to expulsion).
OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES
The Office of Career Services provides quality professional career counseling and career/life planning programs and
experiential opportunities to all students. Career Services achieves its goals by making available the following services:
Career Fairs, career counseling, on-campus interviewing for full-time prospective graduates and student teacher
placement, networking, referrals, credential services, on-line graduate school information, career-related
brochures/handbooks, up-to-date career writing and interview techniques. In addition, job referrals and career related
services are available for alumni. Students are highly encouraged to attend programs and utilize office services
beginning in their freshmen year. All students who utilize Career Services must submit a professional résumé and
register on Handshake at www.joinhandshake.com. To clear for graduation, prospective candidates must complete the
Graduate Exit Form.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Cooperative Education Program at Central State University provides practical training, responsible management
experiences and attitude development required for permanent job placement in career fields matching the student’s
interest and potentialities. Central State University Office of Career Services set the general guidelines and educational
objectives for the program and place students in co-op positions providing maximum educational advantage. Career
Services also provides an on-going student counseling and advisement service to assure a positive relationship among
students, employer, and the University. The University attempts to match students with assignments that are related to
their career objectives, thus providing experiences that enhance knowledge acquired in the classroom. Once a
Cooperative Education training assignment has been approved, the student must register and pay for co-op credits and
fees the same as for any other course. Students holding part-time or full-time jobs may register for academic credit.
There are two types of co-op plans:
• Parallel Co-op: A parallel co-op is like a part-time job. The student enrolls in classes part-time (6 semester hours)
and works 20 hours a week each semester. The student receives 6 semester credit hours for the parallel co-op.
• Alternating Co-op: With an alternating co-op, the student alternates semesters between full-time work and full-
time study. Students receive 12 semester credit hours for alternating co-op. Both plans are used by participating
co-op employers and can be structured to fit any company’s need.

19
INTERNSHIPS
All students are encouraged to complete an internship before graduation. Internships increase opportunities for job
placements through experiential learning. There are various types of internships: Regular, Summer and Business. Interns
are college students selected by companies/agencies to work in their field of study prior to graduation. A regular
internship may consist of full or part-time employment and may take place during the academic semesters September
through June. A summer internship occurs during the period of May through August. Credit cannot be awarded to
students participating in a regular or summer internship if their department does not offer a credit option within their
curriculum. Business Internship credit is available only to students selecting a major/option in the College of Business.
STUDENT HEALTH and WELLNESS CENTER
The Student Health Clinic provides health care services for illness, injury, and wellness needs of Central State University
students. Student Health Services is located on the west side of the campus in the Lackey-Lee building attached to the
Louis Stokes Building. The Clinic is staffed by a board-certified family physician, a certified nurse practitioner, and two
medical assistants.
All full-time students (12+ credit hours) are charged a fee for school supported health insurance. There is an online option
to waive this coverage and fee, if you can provide the insurance company with proof of other current health insurance.
Part-time students (with less than 12 credit hours) may purchase a health insurance plan. This coverage is to provide
convenient medical treatment here on the campus.
CSU recommends that you contact your current health insurance company prior to making the decision to waive (opt out).
Please call the 1-800 number on your insurance card to determine what they will cover, and if there are any
providers/pharmacies in this area who will accept your current insurance.
If you choose to waive the CSU sponsored health insurance, you will be personally responsible for any fee associated with
visits to doctors, clinics, urgent care centers, and emergency rooms. The CSU Health and Wellness Center does ask for
proof of insurance at every visit and may bill your outside insurance.
In general, out-of-state Medicaid plans are only accepted for emergencies and not for routine care and prescriptions. If
you think you may be eligible for Ohio Medicaid, please contact the staff in the Health and Wellness Center. They can help
direct you in this process. You may visit https://medicaid.ohio.gov/FOR-OHIOANS/Get-Coverage/How-to-Apply-for-
Medicaid for expert help as well.
The on-line waiver application site is available each May (Memorial Day) – September (Labor Day) for new and returning
Fall students. Insurance coverage is for an entire academic year. A charge is applied to your account each semester.
Students who enter CSU in the Spring semester will be provided information during the admission process. Reminder
emails will be sent to your CSU email only.
To learn more about the CSU Student Health Insurance Plan or to apply for the waiver using the waiver link open May –

OFFICE OF ACADEMIC EMPOWERMENT AND ACCESSIBILITY (Formerly “Disability Services”)
Mission & Support:
The mission of the Office of Academic Empowerment and Accessibility (OAEA) is to provide and coordinate support
services and programs that enable students with disabilities to maximize their educational potential. This office also serves
as a resource to all members of the University community so that all students with disabilities can freely and actively
participate in all facets of University life.
Central State University, in conjunction with the OAEA, strives to provide, within reason, appropriate resources, services
and auxiliary aids to allow each qualified person with a documented disability equitable access to educational programs,
social experiences and career opportunities. A disability is defined as any condition that substantially limits one or more
of life's major activities. "Major life activities" include such functions as major bodily functions, caring for oneself,
performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, speaking, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending, learning, reading,
communicating, concentrating, thinking, and working. The condition may be permanent or temporary.
Requesting Accommodations:
Any student (new, transfer or continuing) who has a disability and would like to request reasonable accommodations must
contact the OAEA to self-identify and participate in the interactive process to provide appropriate documentation of the
disability from a qualified professional based upon documentation guidelines from the OAEA. This interactive process also
includes the completion of office forms and attending an Intake Meeting/Interview. Participation in requesting and
accessing services each semester is strictly voluntary and accommodations are coordinated on a case-by-case basis
through the OAEA. Accommodation is not retroactive, and they do not transfer from semester to semester. Even though
students may access the OAEA at any time during any given semester, students who select to request services are
encouraged to access the office as early as possible, such as upon initial enrollment at the University or during the first
few weeks of a semester.
Request Timelines for Specific Accommodations:
All types of services and accommodation may be requested at any time. However, students who voluntarily select to
request accommodations associated specifically with housing or emotional support animals are highly encouraged to
submit their request to the OAEA by the following timelines:
Housing Accommodation Due to A Medical Condition:
A student requesting housing accommodation must adhere to all residence life expectations to secure housing in advance,
including room selection, meeting deadlines and the submission of any required deposit based upon your room selection.
It is further understood that a request does not guarantee a specific resident hall or roommate. A request for housing
accommodation will be considered based on the student’s documented medical need, campus availability and on a case-
by-case basis. Please be advised that requesting housing accommodation is a totally separate process from applying for
housing through the Office of Residence Life. All housing requests are highly encouraged to be submitted by the following
dates associated with the term/year of occupancy:
21
Fall Semester: By July 1
Spring Semester: By December 1
Summer Semester: By May 1
Requests submitted after the deadline:  
• CSU cannot guarantee that late requests will be approved to meet the individual’s accommodation needs for that
semester or term of occupancy.
• If accommodation can be made, the determination may occur after the student has moved on campus. Once
approved, the student is responsible for working with residence life staff to ensure a seamless transition to the
newly assigned space with the accommodation(s).
Requests from students who already reside in university housing: 
• A student who resides in campus housing and desires to apply for housing accommodation must contact the OAEA
to complete the request and submit required documentations as soon as practically possible.   
• CSU cannot guarantee that the accommodation need(s) will be met during the semester or term in which the
request is received, and those requests may be held over until the following term, if appropriate.
• If an accommodation can be made, and the student is residing in the residence halls at the time of approval, the
student is responsible for working with residence life staff to ensure a seamless transition to the newly assigned
space with the accommodation(s).
Service & Emotional Support Animals:
While service animals are permitted to accompany individuals with disabilities in public facilities, individuals seeking to
reside with their service animal in University housing are asked to work with the Office of Academic Empowerment &
Accessibility (OAEA) and the Office of Residence Life to ensure the animal is in good health, to facilitate information sharing
and to ensure the appropriate assignment of housing occurs before moving in the resident halls on campus. Notification
of a service animal living with a student in the resident halls is voluntary, but highly recommended.
The first step for a student to be permitted to have an emotional support animal (ESA) in University housing is to contact
the Office of Academic Empowerment & Accessibility (OAEA) to discuss the request. Once self-disclosure has been made
by the student, the OAEA will provide forms, documentation requirements and relevant information associated with the
interactive process for requesting accommodations and services. ESAs are not permitted on campus until the
accommodation request has been approved. Students found with an unauthorized animal in the residence hall or
anywhere on campus, including being confined to a vehicle, may be subject to sanctions under the Student Code of
Conduct, including the removal of the animal and other applicable sanctions by Campus Police.
Due to the potential length, required documents and roommate notifications associated with the interactive request
process, all requests for ESA’s in campus housing are highly encouraged to be submitted by the following dates associated
with the term/year of occupancy:
Fall Semester: By July 1
Spring Semester: By December 1
Summer Semester: By April 1
If the ESA is approved through the OAEA, the student must agree to contractual guidelines for maintaining an assistance
animal within the Central State University residential community.
Requests submitted after the deadline:  
• CSU cannot guarantee that late requests will be approved to meet the individual’s accommodation needs for that
semester or term of occupancy.  Late requests may be held over until the following term, if appropriate. 
 
22
Requests from students who already reside in university housing: 
• A student who resides in campus housing and desires to apply to have an ESA on campus or provides notification
of a service animal in the residence hall, must contact the OAEA to complete the application and submit required
documentations as soon as practically possible.   
• CSU cannot guarantee that the accommodation need(s) will be met during the semester or term in which the
request is received, and those requests may be held over until the following term, if appropriate.
INTERFAITH CAMPUS MINISTRY
The Inter-Faith Campus Ministry serves as a means of promoting an ecumenical approach to faith and spirituality for
those who desire it. Its mission is to sponsor a meaningful community of worship, study, fellowship, and action. The
Inter-Faith Campus Ministry provides programs, services and an environment for the spiritual growth and development
of students. Every aspect of its program and ministry is directed toward deepening and strengthening the spiritual life of
all who voluntarily come under its nurture and care. The Inter-Faith Campus Ministry program is supported by the
following participating denominations: American Baptist Convention, the Roman Catholic Church, the American
Lutheran Church, the Lutheran Church of America, the Ohio Baptist Assembly, the Episcopal Church, the United
Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Church of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples), and the
Church of the Brethren.
RESIDENCE LIFE Office: Foundation Hall II (937) 376-6386
All non-married full-time freshman and sophomore students are required to live in the University residence halls if your
permanent mailing address on file is outside of the 30-mile radius of campus. Junior students with an overall grade point
average below 2.5 and who do not live with their parent(s) or a legal guardian are also required to live in the residence
halls.
Permission to live off-campus must be obtained in writing from the Director of Residence Life and approved by the Dean
of Students. Any student residing in a hall must be enrolled as a full-time student (12 hours or more credit hours is
considered full-time.) Failure to maintain full-time status will result in removal from your residence hall assignment. The
student will still be responsible for payment for the room for that semester.
The University agrees to assign accommodations only after a student has endorsed a housing contract, submitted a non-
refundable housing application fee, and enrollment status has been confirmed for the upcoming semester. Subject to
availability, the University will attempt to assign accommodations according to the student’s preferences, but the
University will not guarantee assignment to a particular room, residence hall or roommate.
The Central State University Board of Trustees reserves the right to make any changes or adjustments in fees and
charges at any time as conditions or circumstances make the changes necessary. Room assignments are made without
regard to race, color, nationality, or religion. Students wishing to be assigned with a certain roommate may request such
at the time the application fee is paid. The University will attempt to honor these requests. The possibilities are
improved if the reservation is sent early, and if both parties wishing to room together send their contracts at the same
time.
The University provides room furniture as well as a computer outlet for each student and a cable TV outlet for each
room. Each student is required to provide his/her own pillow, bed linen, blankets, bedspread, towels, study lamp, wash
cloths, and personal university-approved accessories. Prohibition of certain electrical appliances (see housing contract
and Student Handbook) will be adhered to. Supervision of living arrangements and food service is done with the
student’s health and welfare in mind. Students living in university residence halls are required to eat in the University
Cafeteria. No charge is assessed for vacation periods, during which the cafeteria is closed.
23
No reduction or refund will be made for failure to eat in the cafeteria. Students are expected to participate in the life of
the residence hall in which they live, and to set standards for themselves. The use or distribution of drugs (narcotics,
hallucinogens, stimulants, depressants, etc.), except for established medical purposes determined by the prescription of
a physician or the reasonable use of non-prescription medicines, is prima facie evidence of drug abuse. Violators are
subject to university disciplinary action. State and federal laws prohibit the distribution of drugs except by licensed
agencies. The University cannot protect student violators from prosecution by law enforcement agencies.
OFF-CAMPUS LIVING
Freshman and sophomore students are required to reside on campus unless their permanent address on file is within a
30-mile radius of campus. Juniors with a G.P.A. of less than 2.5 are also required to reside on campus. Eligible students
may elect to live off campus in private housing. Rental units such as apartments or sleeping rooms with varying types of
privileges are available in Wilberforce and in nearby communities including Xenia, Yellow Springs, Beavercreek,
Cedarville, and Fairborn

FINANCIAL AID
Mitchell Dedor, Director of Financial Aid
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID.
Central State University offers financial aid to all eligible students based upon financial need and academic standing.
Central State University utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine the financial aid
applicant’s eligibility for grants, loans, and federal work study. The FAFSA can be accessed at www.studentaid.gov. The
priority deadline to receive full consideration for need based student aid for continuing students is December 1st. New
Students are awarded campus-based funds, like federal work study, as long funds are available. Students selected for
verification must submit all their documents by March 1.
AWARD NOTIFICATION
Each year students are required to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for consideration for most
types of financial aid. Students may accept or decline any portion of the financial aid award package by emailing the
Financial Aid Office. All aid offers are contingent on the availability of federal, state, and institutional funds and the
student’s continued eligibility.
Students can view financial aid awards online via their official student email account. Students should maintain a file
containing all financial aid correspondence and information, as well as all of your account statements. This will assist in
answering any questions that might occur in the future.
FINANCIAL NEED
Most of the programs discussed in this catalog are awarded based on financial need. When applying for federal student
aid, the information reported is used in a formula established by the Department of Education. The formula calculates the
Expected Family Contribution (EFC), an amount used to determine a student’s eligibility to receive certain need-based
aid. The Office of Financial Aid does not automatically renew your financial aid, as the EFC is recalculated each year.
COST OF ATTENDANCE AT CSU
The cost of attendance at CSU for an academic year (two semesters) is based on the assumption that a student will be
enrolled full-time (12 to 18 credit hours) each semester. The 2022-2023 budget for students is shown below to assist you
and your parent(s) in estimating your cost of education:

Budgets are subject to change, please check with the Office of Financial Aid for current information.
***NOTE: Students are billed for tuition, fees, room, board (meals). Students who live off campus are not charged for
room and board (meals). Full-time students who have valid health insurance are able to waive university health
insurance.
Students enrolled at part time not charged for the health insurance. Students who are full time and do not provide proof
of health insurance will have health insurance charged to their account. All remaining costs illustrated in the cost of
attendance (i.e., transportation, books and supplies, miscellaneous) are all amounts that students should budget for out
of pocket.
THE FINANCIAL AID NOTIFICATION
The Office of Student Financial Aid has developed a philosophy of awarding various types of aid to students that is designed
to meet several objectives given the resources available.
The objectives are:
1. Meeting the needs of as many students as possible.
2. Awarding each student the best combination of funds available.
3. Awarding the total amount of funds available during the award period.
4. Awarding funds according to donor specifications.
AWARDING AID ON THE BASIS OF HOURS ENROLLED
During the academic year, your financial aid award will be based on the number of hours for which you are registered.
Unless the student has indicated otherwise, it is assumed that the student will be enrolling as a full-time (minimum of
twelve credit hours) degree seeking student each semester. The award notification letter outlines the exact types and
amount of aid received for each period of enrollment during the academic year.
For those students who are enrolled less than full-time, all affected aid will be reduced. Other aid (i.e., state grants or
outside full-time scholarships) that require full-time attendance may be cancelled. For example, if you enroll for six hours,
some aid for that semester may be reduced to one-half the amount of aid for which you would be eligible as a full-time
student. Students receiving loans must be enrolled in a minimum of six credits.
ADJUSTMENTS TO FINANCIAL AID AWARD
Verification
The Department of Education can select students for a process called verification. Verification is to ensure that students
are getting the proper amount of financial aid based on the information provided in the FAFSA. To complete the
verification process, students and parents are required to submit documentation supporting the information they used to
complete the FAFSA application via an online process. Once verification is complete, if there is a change in the student’s
EFC, their financial aid awards may be adjusted to accommodate the new EFC. Students can review their official student
account at any time for adjustments made to their Financial Aid award.
Over Awards and Aid Reductions
Receipt of outside awards and/or resources will result in a review of your financial aid package to ensure that the student
is not over-awarded. An Over Award happens when a student has more aid than the published Cost of Attendance. Over
awards are usually the result of the student receiving aid that the Financial Aid Office was not aware of when it completed
the student’s financial aid package and/or processed a loan application for the student.
When the total of all aid received by the student exceeds the student's cost of attendance budget, awards in the package
will be adjusted (cancelled or reduced) in order to eliminate the over award. Federal Work-Study awards and loans will be
reduced before any reduction is made to scholarship or grant awards.
33
Students can have their financial aid award reduced due to, but not limited to, 1) no remaining unmet need, 2) reduction
in hours enrolled, 3) loss of eligibility for a particular award, and 4) withdrawal (including non-attendance) from class(es).
Withdrawals
Withdrawals from the university:
Official Withdrawal: A student who registered for classes can make the decision to withdraw from all classes during a
specific term. If the student received Federal financial aid, the University, required by Federal regulation, calculates the
amount of Federal funds the student has earned in a term at the point they withdrew. This process is known as “Return
of Title IV Funds” (R2T4). The amount of funds that are earned by the student is based on a percentage of the number of
days during the semester the student completes. Funds that are determined to not to have been earned by the student
are then returned to the Department of Education and any balance would then be owed to the University.
Unofficial Withdrawal: Students who do not pass at least one class during a given term are determined to have
“unofficially withdrawn” from the University. These students will have their R2T4s completed per Department of
Education guidelines. This requires that the calculations be completed using either 50% completion percentage or a
student’s last date of documented academically related activity.
Z Grades
Students earn a Z grade if they have registered for a class and the instructor determines that the student had not begun
attendance. Students receiving a Z grade will have their total hours adjusted in the Financial Aid Module to exclude
hours for which a Z grade was entered. Federal regulations require that to be eligible for financial aid a student’s
attendance must be verified. No financial aid can be disbursed for those hours in which attendance cannot be
confirmed. For example, a student who is enrolled for 15 hours and receives a Z grade in a 4-hour class would have their
financial aid adjusted to 11 hours. This would take the student below full-time attendance and adjustments to the
Federal Pell Grant and any affected aid would be made. This adjustment could result in the student owing a balance to
the University.
Default
A loan is in default when the student borrower fails to pay several regular payments on time or otherwise fails to meet
the terms and conditions of the loan. For instance, a borrower who is 270 days late on a federal education loan is
considered to be in default. When a borrower is in default the loan becomes due in full immediately and the lender may
pursue more aggressive collection techniques, such as sending the account to a collection agency or filing suit against the
borrower. If you default on a loan, the university, the holder of the loan, the state government and the federal government
can take legal action to recover the money, including garnishing your wages and withholding income tax refunds.
Defaulting on a government loan will make you ineligible for future federal financial aid, unless a satisfactory repayment
schedule is arranged, and can affect your credit rating. There are various repayment options available to
borrowers. Please visit studentloans.gov to review the list of available repayment options.
CHANGE IN FINANCIAL SITUATION
Your family’s financial situation may change after you submit your FAFSA. In the event of a substantial change in your
family circumstances (such as a loss of employment or the death of a parent), you should notify the Office of Financial Aid
immediately to request a re-evaluation and possible adjustment to your award. You must complete an appeal and provide
documentation of your change. Depending on the change of family situation, the documentation required can be several
years of tax documentations, W2’s, death certificates, proof of residency and household size. Your appeal must describe
the change in detail, specifying the changes in dollar amounts. Any adjustment in your aid award is contingent upon your
eligibility according to program regulations and the availability of funds.
FEDERAL WORK STUDY (FWS)
34
The Federal Work-Study Program involves a part-time job on campus, which gives the student an opportunity to gain work
experience and earn extra money to help meet educational expenses. Student positions can be in a variety of areas such
as administrative services, student activities and lab assisting. Students must visit Human Resources in order to apply for
open positions Students cannot work more than 20 hours per week while classes are in session. The student may work
up to 40 hours per week when classes are not in session at the discretion of the supervisor. To be determined eligible, 1)
The student must complete the FAFSA by the priority deadline, 2) Must demonstrate financial need, as determined by the
FAFSA application, and 3) For returning students, maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Funding is limited and
there is no guarantee for job placement.
FINANCIAL AID PAYMENTS TO STUDENTS
Federal Loan funds are not being credited to your account until you have completed and signed a Master Promissory Note
(MPN) and completed Loan Entrance Counseling. Scholarships, grants, and loan funds are disbursed to your account on
the 14

day of the term pending confirmed attendance. Federal Work Study (if earned through on-campus employment)
is received in the form of a paycheck every two weeks beginning approximately four weeks after you begin campus
employment for the hours worked. Other aid listed on the award letter, such as outside scholarships, are credited to the
account upon receipt. For first-time borrowers, there is a 30-day delay in the disbursement of their financial aid.
BOOK ADVANCES
Books are an out-of-pocket expense unless the amount of the approved financial aid is greater than the number of
direct charges.
A book advance is an advance to a student on their expected financial aid refund for the purpose of purchasing books and
other school related supplies from the bookstore. If eligible, the maximum amount provided for book advances is $750.

• Scholarships: Are gift aid and are based on students meeting particular criteria. Scholarships may be need or
merit based.
• Loans: Low-interest aid that is borrowed and must be repaid six months after borrower ceases to be enrolled at a
post-secondary institution at least half-time. In accepting a loan, students need to be aware of the repayment
implications.
• Federal Work Study: Aid earned hourly through employment on campus. The student is paid bi-weekly through
a paycheck. Money earned is not directly applied to the student account.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR FINANCIAL AID
Federal financial aid funds are awarded with the understanding that students will make progress toward their chosen
degree. Central State University, as directed by the U.S. Department of Education, has established Standards of
Satisfactory Academic Progress that students must meet in order to receive Title IV student aid.
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress apply to the following types of federal financial aid: Federal Pell Grant,
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), TEACH Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Loans,
Federal Graduate PLUS Loan, and Federal Parent PLUS Loan.
What are the standards of Student Academic Progress that I am expected to meet?
37
Undergraduate Student Standards
The Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for undergraduate students has two measures: qualitative and pace.
Qualitative Measure
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
As a student, you will know if you are meeting SAP requirements based on your cumulative GPA. The required GPA to
maintain SAP is a 2.0.
Pace Measure
Completion Rate Requirements (Pace):
You must successfully complete at least two-thirds (67%) of your total cumulative credit hours attempted
1
.
Students are required to complete their degree at Central State University within one and a half times the length of their
academic program (150% of the published length of the educational program). For instance, a student typically has six
years to complete a four-year degree. However, consideration is given to the student’s enrollment status i.e. part-time
and full-time.
What happens if I don’t meet the SAP requirements?
If you are not meeting one and/or both of the measures of SAP, your financial aid will be suspended.
Can I appeal an SAP decision?
Yes. You have the right to appeal if you are experiencing extenuating circumstances. Appeal forms are available online.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Procedures
At the end of spring semester each year, the academic records of all students who are receiving or applying for federal
financial aid will be reviewed. Those students who fail to meet the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress will be
sent a letter notifying them of their status by email. This letter will also outline steps students can take to maintain or
restore their eligibility.
Can SAP affect me if I am a Transfer Student?
Yes. SAP can affect you as a Transfer Student. Credit hours accepted by CSU will be included in the maximum time frame
towards completion of a degree.
What if I have not attended Central State for over one semester, will my past credits be considered towards SAP?
Yes, all prior credits are considered when determining SAP for students who return to CSU after one or more semesters
of absence.
If I change my major, are those credits reviewed for SAP?
General education requirement credits will be considered in determining your SAP. However, for students who change
majors, credits attempted and grades earned from a previous major do not count toward the new major and will not be
included in the SAP determination.
What grades are used when calculating and determining SAP?
ALL of them.
How does SAP apply to graduate students?
Graduate students must also meet standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress with the exception of a required 3.0
GPA.
SAP and Reinstatement of Aid
38
The Office of Financial Aid may approve a student’s appeal based upon the academic plan developed by the academic
advisor and the student. In this case, the student is not required to meet the SAP standards set forth in the policy, but
instead must follow the academic plan.
Once a student fails to follow the academic plan provided by the academic advisor, the student must do the following in
order to be eligible for financial aid: Complete a full-time equivalent term (12+ credits) with a 2.0 GPA without the use of
federal funds. A student may complete multiple part-time terms with a 2.0 GPA to achieve the full-time equivalence in
credit hours.

1. All unpaid balances from a previous semester must be paid in full.
2. Students are required to have 100% of their current semester’s bill (all charges) covered by any combination of
the following:

up.
RESIDENCE HALLS
In accordance with the Housing Contract, students living in the residence halls are committed to on-campus housing for
the duration of the contract (one academic year). These fees are non-refundable. Due to the shorten length of the Summer
term, the charges for Room and Board are adjusted. All students residing in the residence hall are required to pay a room
reservation fee and a key deposit before receiving their room key. These deposits are not refundable.
REFUNDS
Students whose accounts have excess funds after all Central State charges are posted can expect that the excess of
refundable funds will be sent to them. Students have the choice of delivery for their excess funds. The choices are ACH
to a personal checking account or check. Please note that checks are mailed to the residence of record and cannot be
picked up on campus. All students will need to register for a student account center account via the Student Portal upon
enrollment into the university.
PAYMENT OF FEES

After the 39th day of a full semester (Fall or Spring), no fees will be refunded (see academic calendar for withdrawal dates).
If a student withdraws before the registration is complete he/she is indebted to the University for the amount determined
by the stated policies stated. Students withdrawn for disciplinary reasons during the semester forfeit any refund based on
withdrawals. The refund policy does not apply to students who drop classes only and are still enrolled in the University.

OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR
The Office of the Registrar conducts the process of registering students in courses, maintaining official academic records
and certifying students for graduation. This office is also responsible for calculating and recording the academic progress
of students.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
Central State University is on the semester system. The academic year is divided into two semesters (fall and spring) and
multiple summer sessions. Registration is open to all continuing students, in good academic standing according to the
Academic Calendar available on CSU’s web site.
Fees for students who register early are due prior to the start of the semester and are published on CSU’s web site.
During the open registration period, students must pay fees or prove their ability to pay. Late registration allows
continuing students to register until the beginning of the semester with an additional cost per academic calendar.
All incomplete registrations must be cancelled by the student. Students must officially be registered for classes during
the semester to be eligible to receive grades at the end of the semester. Students will not be retroactively registered
once the semester has ended. If a student has reason to request an exception to this policy, the request must be
submitted in writing to the Academic Standards Committee.
COURSE CREDIT-UNIT OF INSTRUCTION
Course credit is computed in terms of semester hours. The semester hour is the unit of instruction used in computing
the amount of work required for graduation. One semester hour is equivalent to one fifty-minute period of lecture or
recitation per week during the semester.
STUDY LOAD
The recommended study load is 15 to 18 semester hours. Written approval from the Department Chairperson and the
College Dean is required if a student wishes to register for 19-21 semester hours during Fall and Spring Semesters. A
student who enrolls in 22 or more semester hours will need to seek approval from the Department Chairperson, College
Dean, and Provost/VP of Academic Affairs. The maximum study load for the Summer term is (11) hours.
This information includes credit taken for classes on campus through SOCHE Consortium cross registration, or as a
transient student at another institution.
OVERLOAD
To register for courses beyond the normal study load (18 credit hours Fall and Spring/11 for Summer), you must receive
permission from your advisor, department Chairperson, and Dean. An approved overload (up to 21 credit hours/up to 12
for Summer). Approval for more than 21 credit hours for fall or spring/12 for summer for graduating seniors may be
granted by the Provost.
FULL-TIME Student
A full-time student is one who enrolls for 12 or more credit hours per semester. Students registering for more than 18
credit hours per semester must obtain permission from their Department Chairperson, College Dean or University
Provost.
PART-TIME
A part-time student is one who enrolls for 11 or fewer credit hours per semester.
43
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON GRADE CHANGES
Grade changes, with the appropriate approvals, will be processed by the Office of the Registrar, up to two (2) years after
the completion of a course. This policy does not apply to “I” grades.
GRADING AND GRADE POINTS
Students will not be retroactively registered once the semester has ended. If a student has reason to request an
exception to this policy, the request must be submitted in writing to the Academic Standards Committee. At the close of
each semester a letter grade indicating the quality of the student’s work is reported by the instructor to the Office of the
Registrar. Most departmental major courses require the student to earn a “C” grade or better for the course to satisfy
graduation requirements. If a student receives a “D” or “F” grade in such a course, the student will be required to repeat
the course. No course substitutions or waivers will be permitted to replace the course in which an unsatisfactory grade
was received. The repeat attempt must take place at CSU. The student may not take a comparable course at another
institution and transfer it back to CSU to satisfy the CSU requirement.
Points are assigned to each letter grade. The students are graded in accordance with the grading system. Grading
standards are a faculty prerogative.

CALCULATING THE GRADE POINT AVERAGE
The Grade Point Average can be obtained by multiplying the credit hours for each course by the points generated by
each grade earned for the course. Next add the credit hours column being careful to exclude courses with grades that by
policy do not calculate in the GPA. Then, add the points earned column. Finally, divide the points by the credit hours to
obtain the GPA.

STUDENT CLASSIFICATION
• Freshman: A student who has earned 29 credit hours or fewer.
• Sophomore: A student who has earned between 30 and 59 credit hours.
• Junior: A student who has earned between 60 and 89 credit hours.
• Senior: A student who has earned 90 or more credit hours.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is a critical element in being a successful student. It is expected that students will attend all classes. The
instructor of record is responsible for monitoring attendance and will include an attendance policy in the course
syllabus.
Failure to attend class can affect a student’s overall grade in a course and may affect his or her financial aid status.
Faculty members as representatives of their individual programs may maintain specific attendance requirements for
their respective courses. Each faculty member within their program will determine the percent of the final course grade
contributed by the attendance grade. Students are responsible for knowing and adhering to these policies.
The university recognizes that school-sponsored activities are part of the education process and that such an activity
may conflict with a scheduled class. These situations require discussion among the teacher, student, and supervisor of
the activity, so that all parties understand the effects of not attending the class. Students who are absent because of
university business MUST personally notify faculty of impending absences and discuss class work. Athletes who are
absent from two consecutive classes must be reported immediately to the Athletic Compliance office (937-376-6295) for
student intervention by the athletic department.
Excused Absences
Excused absences are under the final discretion of the instructor of record. Excused absences may include:
• documented military service,
• documented jury duty,
• documented university service, university sponsored field trip, or off-campus representation of the University.
• documented illness
• documented serious illness or death in the student’s immediate family
• documented court appearance.
Students without a 2.0 cumulative GPA or better are ineligible for excused absences due to university sponsored
programs or travel. Students who miss class for any reason are responsible for all missed exams, homework, and
assignments.
ACADEMIC STANDING, PROBATION AND SUSPENSION – Effective Fall 2015
Academic Standing Policy: Central State University students are expected to actively pursue their coursework and
maintain persistence in fulfilling degree requirements within a reasonable time frame. Students are expected to meet
45
the standards for good academic standing each semester. A student’s academic standing is indicated on his/her
transcript.
Good Academic Standing A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 is required for good academic standing and
for the completion of an undergraduate degree at Central State University; however, some programs may require a
higher-grade point average. A student who does not maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 may be placed on
probation and/or suspended.
Academic Probation & Suspension Academic Probation occurs when a student, regardless of classification, has not
achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. If a student does not achieve the minimum cumulative
grade point average of 2.0 at the end of a semester, he/she will be placed on academic probation during the next
semester of attendance. A student can return to the University while he/she is on academic probation. While on
academic probation, the student is expected to achieve a semester grade point average that is high enough to yield a
cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or greater. While on probation, a student may not register for more than 15-16
credits per semester (excluding summer). When the student achieves a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or greater,
he/she is placed in good academic standing status.
Academic suspension occurs whenever the semester grade point average of a student who is on academic probation
falls below 2.0 during subsequent semesters, and if the cumulative grade point average is below 2.0 he/she will be
placed on academic suspension.
A student who has been suspended for the first time is eligible to apply for readmission after one semester (fall or
spring) through the University’s appeal for readmission process. A student who has been suspended for a second time is
eligible to apply for readmission after absence from the university for one academic year (excluding summer term). A
student who has been suspended for a third time is not eligible for readmission.
Readmission after an academic suspension is not automatic and can be denied upon the recommendation of the
Academic Standards Committee. A student whose petition for readmission is approved will be readmitted and
designated as “Continued on Probation.” To avoid a second or third academic suspension, the student must achieve a
minimum semester grade point average of 2.0.
APPEAL FOR READMISSION AFTER BEING ACADEMICALLY SUSPENDED
A student who has been academically suspended and seeks readmission must submit a petition to the Academic
Standards Committee. Appeals are available from the Office of the Registrar. Appeals for readmission must include a
plan signed by both the student and an academic advisor. The chair of the student’s major program and the Dean of the
student’s college must also sign appeals for readmission. Once readmitted, students must show evidence of following
the agreed upon plan for academic success. Failure to do so will be considered in the review of any future appeals for
readmission.
Appeals must be filed with your Academic Advisor at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the semester for which one
is seeking readmission. The Committee must receive from the advisor, your Appeal at least 45 days prior to the
beginning of the term in which the student wishes to re-enroll.
Hours and grades earned at another accredited institution during the period of academic suspension from Central State
will be considered during the decision on whether to grant readmission. If the student is readmitted, credit hours earned
at another institution will be accepted and posted to the student’s transcript in accordance with rules on the application
of all transfer credit in effect at the time of readmission.
Students who are admitted after being “Academically Suspended” will be readmitted on “Academic Probation” and
must achieve at least a 2.0 semester GPA or they will be “Academically Suspended” again.
46
Readmission after one or two “Academic Suspensions” is not automatic and may be denied upon the recommendation
of the Academic Standards Committee
While the Academic Standards Committee will consider petitions for readmission after three or more academic
suspensions, such petitions will be approved only under the most exceptional circumstances. Students with multiple
academic suspensions are advised to pursue their education at another institution or to consider a career path that does
not require an undergraduate degree.
NOTE: Student with below 30 credit hours or less are required to register for courses with the Office of Academic
Coaching and Advising complete an academic success plan.
NOTE: The appeal process for Financial Aid reinstatement is different. Please contact the office of Financial Aid for
specific instructions.
Grade Appeal Policy
The student has a right to the grade he or she has earned, the right to know the grading system of the instructor, and
the right to know grades as they are given during the semester. The grading system should be included in the course
syllabus.
The decision to change a student’s grade shall only be made by the instructor of record unless the instructor is
incapacitated, cannot be contacted, or if there is evidence of prejudicial or capricious grading.
If the student has evidence of prejudicial or capricious grading, the student should first consult the instructor. If this
consultation does not resolve the conflict, the student should then consult the department chairperson. If the student,
after consultation with the chairperson, wishes to pursue the appeal, the chairperson will inform the dean that a hearing
has been requested.
The student has the right to submit a Grade Appeal Form to the department chairperson up to 30 days after the
beginning of the subsequent semester, excluding summers. Until the grade is finally determined, the student’s academic
standing and all related rights and privileges are based on the grade as originally assigned. The student shall collect and
present any evidence (tests, papers, laboratory reports, case studies, etc.) to the Appeals Committee. The burden of
proof and responsibility for evidence collection remains with the student
1. The dean will appoint a committee composed of three tenured faculty members from within the discipline, who,
if possible, should be familiar with the course. If there are not three tenured faculty members within the
discipline, the dean will appoint other tenured faculty members from the department and/or college as needed.
2. The student and instructor are to be apprised of the composition of the committee. The dean should honor any
reasonable objection that either person might have to the appointment of committee members.
3. The burden of proof will be on the student. No additional work may be submitted for consideration; only the
original work used in calculating the grade will be used in deciding if the appeal should be heard.
4. The Appeals Committee will review evidence to decide if a hearing is warranted due to prejudicial or capricious
grading. The committee will notify the student, faculty member, and department chair of their decision within
30 days after receiving the grade change appeal.
5. Both the student and the instructor have the right to present their position in person to the committee.
6. The decision of the committee is final, and the grade it decides upon becomes the official grade for the course.
Unless the instructor is incapacitated or cannot be contacted, no change of grade will be made without the
instructor of record being informed in writing.
47
TRANSFER APPLICATION
An applicant who was enrolled in another college or university for at least one course is classified as a transfer applicant.
Official transcripts (sealed envelope with the raised seal on the document) from all other institutions attended must be
submitted to the Office of Admissions as part of the Central State University Application. Failure to list attendance at a
college or university on the admissions application may be grounds for revocation of admission or dismissal from the
university.
The Office of the Registrar will evaluate overall transfer credit for acceptance by the University. The Department Chair of
the department you are seeking entrance into, will evaluate credits for their applicability to program and degree
requirements. The evaluation of transfer credits and how they apply to degree requirements will take place within the
first 30 days of your matriculation at Central State University. Students can view their transfer credits on their unofficial
transcript provided through their Student Portal.
ADVANCE STANDING
In order for advance standing to be granted, institutions you have attended must be accredited by one of six national
accrediting agencies:
• Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
• North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
• New England Association of Schools and Colleges
• Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
• Western Association of Schools and Colleges
You can check the accreditation of your institution online at www.chea.org. The acceptance of transfer credits from any
other institution must be approved by the Office of the Registrar.
Central State University operates on a semester academic calendar. One semester credit equals 1.5 quarter credits. For
example, if you transfer 15 quarter credits, that will be the equivalent of 10 semester credits.
Central State University will accept Advanced Placement Credit Program credits (AP) and College Level Examination
Program credits (CLEP) under the auspices of the College Board. To receive AP credit a high school student must have
completed an official AP course and taken the test in that subject. Credit is granted for test scores of 3, 4, or 5. CLEP
examinations cover material taught in the first two years of college. Students earning satisfactory scores in the CLEP
examination will be granted the same amount of credit granted to students who successfully complete the course.
Credit is also accepted from the Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES). Central State
University awards transfer credit for Military Experience based upon the American Council on Education’s Guide to the
Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.
Applicants interested in receiving consideration for any of these alternative forms of credit must have the official score
report sent directly to the Office of the Registrar, where official granting of credit begins. CSU will award credit for
International Baccalaureate (IB) Program “High Level” exams passed with a score of five (5) or higher.
You may transfer credits from another institution; however, you are still required to earn a minimum of 24 semester
hours at CSU. Your Department Chair may require you to take specific courses at Central State University to earn your
degree. This information should be shared with you at the time you receive your official check sheet.

TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY
Central State University accepts transfer credit from colleges and universities accredited by regional accrediting
associations. The regional accrediting associations are: Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
(ACCJC) Western Association of Schools and Colleges; Higher Learning Commission (HLC); Middle States Commission on
Higher Education (MSCHE); New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE); Northwest Commission on Colleges
and Universities (NWCCU); Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC); and WASC
Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
Courses that are being considered as transferable credit must be college level courses and non-developmental. The
Office of the Registrar will determine the credits that are accepted into the institution. Under state law, the university is
required to accept grades “D” or better as transfer credit from state assisted colleges and universities in Ohio. For
institutions that are out-of-state, the final grade must be a “C” or better. Grades of “S”, “pass” and “credit” are
considered for transfer credit. The Department Chair of the intended major will determine whether credits accepted by
the institution will be used to satisfy program requirements for graduation.
Students who have already received a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution and wish to pursue a second
baccalaureate degree will automatically receive 90 semester credit hours. They will be ranked as seniors and will need to
complete a minimum of 24 semester credit hours at Central State University to earn a second baccalaureate degree. An
advisor will determine degree and whether the student will need to take more than 30 credits to complete the second
degree.
INCOMPLETE
A grade of incomplete “I” is a temporary grade assigned to students who lack final assignments or projects, or who, for
some other extenuating circumstance, were unable to complete the requirements of the course within the semester.
This grade is assigned by the instructor with the consent of the student, and the mutual understanding of the conditions
under which this grade may be changed. The incomplete grade requires the signature of the instructor and the student
with a brief description of the requirements necessary to receive a grade.
Both the student and the instructor understand that if the additional coursework is not satisfactorily completed and
submitted to the instructor within six (6) weeks after the beginning of the next semester of enrollment (up to one
year), the grade will change to an “F”. The instructor has (2) days after the stated deadline to process the paperwork
and to submit the Change of Grade Report to the Office of the Registrar. Once an “I” grade has been changed to an
“F” grade, no further change is permitted.
Individual exceptions to this policy, due to extenuating circumstances, will be considered by the Academic Standards
Committee upon receipt of a formal appeal presented to the Committee by the student’s Academic Advisor or
Department Chair”.
REPEATING A COURSE
Students may repeat most courses in which a low or failing grade (D, NC, or F) was earned. All course repeat attempts
will be recorded on the student’s academic record. The first grade earned will be excluded from the calculation of the
cumulative grade point average by the last repeat attempt. Students are advised to check with the Office of Financial Aid
to determine the effect of repeated courses on their financial aid awards. Courses completed at CSU cannot be repeated
at another institution.
50
AUDITING COURSES
Students are permitted to audit courses but will receive neither grades nor credit for those courses. The student who
audits is expected to attend class but is not required to submit assignments or take examinations unless contractually
agreed. The fees for auditing are the same as those for enrolling for credit. Changing from audit to credit or from credit
to audit is not permitted once the registration is complete.
SOCHE - STUDENT CROSS-REGISTRATION PROGRAM
Cross-Registration is a program of the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) to allow students who
are degree-seeking and/or participating in certification programs access to academic opportunities not available at their
own institutions. Students attending colleges and universities within SOCHE may register for courses that are applicable
to their degree program offered by other SOCHE institutions.
Generally, all classes, including those offered through distance education, are open, subject to space availability and
completion of prerequisites and with permission of the host institution. Courses categorized as workshops are not
available for cross-registration.
To cross-register for a course at another SOCHE institution, the desired course(s) must not be offered at the student’s
home institution during the term in which the student desires to enroll. Students must adhere to the cross-registration
guidelines established at each SOCHE-member institution.
POST BACCALAUREATE ROUTE
Central State University offers a post-baccalaureate route and is designed for individuals who have completed the
baccalaureate degree from an approved accredited institution with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00
or 2.75 for prospective students who wish to obtain an initial teaching license. Individuals interested in seeking
admission to Post Baccalaureate status should consult the University Office of Admissions or the appropriate College of
Education Department.
SENIOR CITIZEN ENROLLMENT
Senior citizens who are Ohio residents may enroll in classes at Central State University free of charge for “audit” status
only. Such enrollment is made on a space available basis during the Late Registration period only. Senior citizens
enrolling in classes are responsible for meeting limited course prerequisites and for the payment of any special course
fees which may apply. Proper identification is required (Golden Buckeye card or verification of age 60).
DROP/ADD COURSES
Please see the academic calendar for exact dates per semester and term.
TOTAL WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY
Students withdrawing from the university must complete a withdrawal form. Total withdrawal ends each semester at a
date that is designated on the academic calendar. Students who stop attending classes without officially withdrawing
will receive failing grades. Students who stop attending classes are also subject to administrative total withdrawal with
or without record from the University.
DECLARING A MAJOR
All new undergraduate students are assigned to an academic advisor within the University College for advising. It is
expected that a major be declared after the second semester of enrollment. A Declaration of Major form must be
51
completed and filed in the Registrar’s Office no later than the sophomore year. Students must fulfill Academic
Department requirements prior to declaring a major.
MAJORS AND MINORS
A student must declare a major in the department of choice by the sophomore year. The major may be changed at any
time during the student’s academic career, however, the student should finalize a major no later than the beginning of
the junior year, since certain General Education courses are required in specific disciplines. Students seeking an Ohio
Teaching License should confer with the Dean of the College of Education.
DOUBLE MAJORS
A student who plans to pursue more than one major notifies the Office of the Registrar of such an intention and
completes major requirements for both programs, the General Education requirements being common to both. The
student should note, however, that the special requirements for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees
differ. The student combining two such majors must satisfy both sets of special requirements. (See GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS — SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS) The transcript will reflect both majors. Such a student has two academic
advisors to assist in coordinating the programs, but it is the responsibility of the student to notify the Office of the
Registrar at the time the decision is made to pursue two majors.
GRADUATION
Prospective graduates are required to file an application for graduation with the Office of the Registrar and pay the
application fee during the application period as outlined in the Academic Calendar. The application fee is nonrefundable
and non-transferable. Students must fulfill all academic (including Final Exams) and financial requirements to participate
in Commencement exercises. Prospective graduates are also required to earn their last 24 semester hours at CSU.
The academic advisor, the department chairperson, and the dean will verify that degree requirements have been
satisfactorily completed for graduation. Course substitutions or waivers must be submitted on a Substitution/Waiver
Form and must be approved by the academic advisor, department chairperson and the dean. The Registrar will certify
that all graduation requirements have been satisfied after receipt and review of the student’s final grades. Any student
wanting to take any of their last 24 credit hours at another institution must complete an academic appeal for
consideration.
SOCHE students must adhere to the cross-registration guidelines established at each SOCHE-member 42 institution,
which may hinder participation in commencement.
APPLICATIONS FOR GRADUATION
Applications for Graduation are accepted at the beginning of the academic year preceding the student’s anticipated
graduation date. An application fee is required (this fee can be charged to your account). The application fee is non-
refundable and non-transferable. All commencement regalia are available for purchase at Senior Salute or Barnes &
Noble Book Store.
Applications are valid only for the academic year in which they are submitted. The following steps and minimum
requirements must be satisfied for a student to be considered as an applicant for graduation:
1. Meet with advisor to confirm when you will be finishing your requirements. Requests that your official check
sheet to be reviewed and emailed to gr[email protected]. Any substitution forms that have not been
processed should be submitted at this time.
2. A degree audit will be conducted on a first come first served basis, but it will likely be completed within 15-20
business days.
52
3. Complete a graduation application through the myCSU portal under Student Records.
4. A degree audit will be sent to the academic advisor for verification.
5. Upon resolution of the degree audit, a final copy and next steps will be sent to both the student and academic
advisor.
6. It is required that all graduates pay the applicable graduation fee.
7. A minimum cumulative grade point average is required for graduation. The actual requirement varies by degree
earned and by major program of study and will always be a 2.00 GPA or better. Students must check with their
college and major department to determine their GPA requirements.
8. All outstanding financial obligations owed to the University must be cleared by the date published on the
Graduation Application. Graduation Applications for candidates who do not complete their requirements as
planned, are retained by the Registrar for one (1) academic year. Students in this group who wish to re-apply for
graduation for a subsequent semester may do so by submitting a letter of intent accompanied by the
appropriate application fee. Students who have not submitted an Application for Graduation within the last year
must complete a new Application and pay the appropriate fee.
CATALOG FOR GRADUATION
Students have a total of eight calendar years in which to complete the degree requirements for graduation. Students
who take longer than eight years from the date of initial enrollment to graduate will be subject to degree requirements
of the current catalog.
RELEASE OF RECORDS/TRANSCRIPTS
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, governs the maintenance and release of
records/transcripts. A copy of these regulations is available in the Office of the Registrar. The University will not release
a copy of the student’s grades without the student’s permission, except where required by law. If a prior balance is
owed to the University, the student’s transcript (official or unofficial) will not be released. The student must pay the
prior balance before a transcript will be issued (in accordance with CSU Finance Policy).
RESIDENCY
An Out-of-State student who feels that he/she qualifies as an In-State resident must complete a request to change
residency status form and submit it to the Office of the Registrar. Supporting documentation and verification is required.
In-state residency approval is neither retroactive nor automatic. All requests for residency changes, with supporting
documentation, must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar no later than one month prior to the beginning of the
semester for which the residency change is requested.
Out-of-State students who graduated from an Ohio high school may be eligible for Forever Buckeye Residency status.
Contact the Office of the Registrar for more information.

GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM
Central State University provides students with a strong liberal arts education that prepares them with 21
st
Century
knowledge and skills both to be successful in their careers and to become life-long learners. As an 1890 land-grant
institution, Central State’s mission is to prepare students with diverse backgrounds for success in their lives and
careers. The University’s required general education curriculum, the Marauder Lifestyle and Marauder Foundation,
reflects this commitment.
The Marauder Lifestyle
CSU’s Marauder Lifestyle helps students adjust to college while preparing for life and careers. The Marauder Lifestyle
prepares students to enact the University’s three tenets of service, protocol, and civility through courses that address
physical well-being, academic and social adjustment, use of information technology, personal responsibility and fiscal
awareness, and psychological health. Through their Marauder Lifestyle courses, CSU students understand what it means
to be a CSU Marauder and learn how their personal health and lifestyle choices affect them and society.
The Marauder Lifestyle is guided by CSU’s Cornerstone for Wellness and Lifestyle Choices. This Cornerstone assures
students:
• Apply effective strategies to promote and maintain physical and mental health, academic and social adjustment,
and economic and information literacy.
The Marauder Foundation
The Marauder Foundation develops a breadth of skills, perspectives, and experiences across a wide range of disciplines
to meet the educational needs of our diverse student population. Marauder Foundation classes complement students’
professional programs by blending practical application of knowledge in a discipline with tools for life-long learning.
57
Therefore, through the Marauder Foundation, CSU students are empowered to apply their knowledge to real-world
situations and adapt to change.
The Marauder Foundation is guided by CSU’s Cornerstones of Academic Success. These Cornerstones assure students:
• Communicate effectively in both written and oral situations.
• Think critically and apply the habits of inquiry and analysis to various situations.
• Demonstrate an awareness of the roles cultural and social factors play in human achievement, especially for people
of African and African American heritage.
• Apply quantitative and scientific reasoning to understanding human experience and the natural world.
These Cornerstones reflect areas of knowledge and methods of inquiry recognized by our scholarly community as
necessary to investigate the social, cultural, scientific, and technological complexities of our 21

EXCEPTIONS TO THE GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
Physical Activity Requirement
Students who are twenty-five or older at the time of entry into CSU or at time of re-entry after extended absence are
exempt from the one-hour physical activity course requirement. Upon recommendation of a physician, a student with a
physical disability may be excused from the one-hour physical activity course requirement. Students who are exempt
from the physical activity requirement must make up the exempted hour to complete the minimum 120-14 hours
toward graduation.
Other Exceptions
Other exceptions to the General Education requirements occur when the student’s major field requires specific
introductory courses. The three music degrees offered in the Department of Fine and Performing Arts have General
Education Requirements that are different from the University requirements in order for these programs to meet the
59
curriculum standards of the National Association of Schools of Music. General Education requirements for these three
programs total 32-34 semester hours and are listed in the program’s advisement materials.
Capstone Experience
Each major has a designated a capstone, seminar, or equivalent experience in which students integrate learning in the
major and in the Marauder Foundation through a substantial final product of high quality, whether written, performance-
based, or practice-oriented. The designated experience is completed in the major. Requirements vary by major.

Ohio Transfer Module
The Ohio Transfer Module is an option that facilitates transfer among Ohio’s state-assisted institutions. It is comprised
of 36 credit hours. The Marauder Foundation in combination with additional hours as shown on the Transfer Module
Grid meets the Ohio Department of Higher Education transfer module requirements and, along with the degree
program, provides students the opportunity to tailor their university degree to their unique interests and academic
needs.
INSTITUTIONAL TRANSFER
The Ohio Department of Higher Education, following the directive of the Ohio General Assembly, has developed a
statewide policy to facilitate movement of students and transfer credits from one Ohio public college or university to
another. The purpose of the state policy is to avoid duplication of course requirements and to enhance student mobility
throughout Ohio’s higher education system. Since independent colleges and universities in Ohio may or may not be
participating in the transfer policy, students interested in transferring to an independent institution are encouraged to
check with the college or university of their choice regarding transfer agreements.
TRANSFER MODULE
The Ohio Department of Higher Education Transfer and Articulation Policy established the Transfer Module, which is a
specific subset or the entire set of a college or university’s general education requirements. The Transfer Module contains
54-60 quarter hours or 36-40 semester hours of specified course credits in English composition, mathematics, fine arts,
humanities, social and behavioral sciences, natural science and physical sciences and interdisciplinary coursework.
A Transfer Module completed at one college or university will automatically meet the requirements of the Transfer
Module at the receiving institution once the student is accepted. Students may be required, however, to meet additional
general education requirements that are not included in the Transfer Module.
CONDITIONS FOR TRANSFER ADMISSION
Students meeting the requirements of the Transfer Module are subject to the following conditions:
1. The policy encourages receiving institutions to give preferential consideration for admission to students who
complete the Transfer Module and either the Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science degrees. These
students will be able to transfer all courses in which they received a passing grade of “D” or better. Students
must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 to be given credit for the Transfer Module.
2. The policy also encourages receiving institutions to give preferential consideration for admission to students
who complete the Transfer Module with a grade of “C” or better in each course and 90 quarter hours or 60
semester hours. Students must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 to be given credit for the Transfer
Module and only courses in which a “C” or better has been earned will transfer.
3. The policy encourages receiving institutions to admit on a non-preferential basis those students who complete
the Transfer Module with a grade of “C” or better in each course and less than 90 quarter hours or 60 semester
hours. These students will be able to transfer all courses in which they received a grade of “C” or better.
Admission to a given institution, however, does not guarantee that a transfer student will be automatically admitted to
all majors, minors, or fields of concentration at that institution. Once admitted, transfer students shall be subject to the
same regulations governing applicability of catalog requirements as all other students. Furthermore, transfer students
shall be accorded the same class standing and other privileges as all other students on the basis of the number of credits
earned. All residency requirements must be successfully completed at the receiving institution prior to the granting of a
degree.
62
RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENTS
In order to facilitate transfer with maximum applicability of transfer credit, prospective transfer students should plan a
course of study that will meet the requirements of a degree program at the receiving institution. Specifically, students
should identify early in their collegiate studies an institution and major to which they desire to transfer. Furthermore,
students should determine if there are language requirements or any special course requirements that can be met during
the freshman or sophomore year. This will enable students to plan and pursue a course of study that will articulate with
the receiving institution’s major. Students are encouraged to seek further information regarding transfer from both their
advisor and the college or university to which they plan to transfer.
TRANSFER APPEALS PROCESS
A multi-level, broad-based appeal process is required to be in place at each institution. A student disagreeing with the
application of transfer credit by the receiving institution shall be informed of the right to appeal the decision and the
process for filing the appeal. Each institution shall make available to students the appeal process for that specific college
or university.
If a transfer student’s appeal is denied by the institution after all appeal levels within the institution have been exhausted,
the institution shall advise the student in writing of the availability and process of appeal to the state-level Articulation
and Transfer Appeals Review Committee.
This State Appeals Review Committee shall hear and recommend to institutions the resolution of individual cases of appeal
from transfer students who have exhausted local appeal mechanisms concerning applicability of transfer credits at
receiving institutions.
PROCEDURES
A student appealing a decision on the applicability of transfer credit must have exhausted campus-level appeals and must
have received a final decision before submitting the matter for further review by the State Appeals Review Committee.
The State Appeals Review Committee shall have the power to obtain all records and documents used in the deliberation
of the matter at the campus level. Neither the student appealing the decision, nor the representative of the institution
shall have a right of personal appearance before the committee.
STEPS IN THE TRANSFER APPEALS PROCESS
1. The institution publishes both state and local appeal procedures in the catalog or other appropriate student-
oriented publication.
2. The student applies for admission.
3. The institution evaluates transcript of accepted student.
4. The institution decides on applicability of credit and sends dated statement of transfer credit applicability to
student along with a notification of the 90-day period for filing an appeal.
5. If the student accepts the judgment, the process ends.
6. If the student challenges the judgment, he/she appeals within the institution.
7. The institution initiates its internal appeal process which must involve individuals who did not participate in the
original decision. If the institution’s appeal process provides for only two stages, initial review and appeal review,
then this stage must provide for an institution-wide perspective. If more than one review step is involved, the final
step must involve an institution-wide perspective. At each appeal level, the institution shall respond to the appeal
within 30 days of the receipt of the appeal.
8. The institution notifies the student and the department, in writing, of judgment and informs the student of the right
to a state appeal process and the address to which appeals may be sent.
9. If the student accepts the judgment of the institution’s internal review process, the process ends.
63
10. If the student challenges the judgment, the student appeals to the State Appeals Review Committee.
11. The State Appeals Review Committee notifies the student and the institution of the date of the hearing and
requested information.
12. A hearing is held by the State Appeals Review Committee.
13. The State Appeals Review Committee notifies the student and the institution of advisory judgment.
14. The institution considers the advisory judgment of the State Appeals Review Committee.
15. The institution notifies the student of the disposition of the advisory judgment.
16. The process ends.
CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY TRANSFER APPEALS PROCESS
This appeal process will address the applicability of transfer credits between institutions. The process applies to all
undergraduate courses, not just those in the Transfer Module.
Any student applying for admission to Central State University must have an official transcript(s) of credits from an
accredited institution sent to the Office of Admission for review. The official transcripts from an accredited institution of
accepted students will be analyzed for applicability of credits and the student will be served with a dated statement of
credit applicability along with a notification of the 90-day period for filing an appeal. The Registrar, in consultation with
the appropriate department chair, will determine the applicability of the general education credits.
The Department chair will determine what courses can be applied toward the major. This determination may be based on
the grade received in the course as well as course content. For example, if native students are required to earn a grade of
“C” or better in a course, transfer students may be required to repeat a course with a grade of “D” regardless of whether
it is acceptable for the Transfer Module.
If a student disagrees with the decision of the Registrar on the applicability of courses for the general education
requirements, the student may appeal that decision to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs within 90 days
after receiving the decision from the Registrar. The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs will render a final
decision within 30 days after receiving the appeal. The decision of the Academic Affairs office will be final.
If a student disagrees with the decision of the chairperson on the applicability of transfer credits in the major area, that
student may, within 90 days, appeal to the dean of the college who will render a decision within 30 days. If the decision
of the dean of the college is unacceptable, the student may, within seven (7), days appeal to the Provost and Vice President
for Academic Affairs, who will render a final decision within fifteen (15) days.

CAMPUS POLICE
Chief Stephanie Hill
Crime is a national problem that also affects University campuses, but through a number of ongoing proactive crime
awareness activities, serious criminal incidents on campus have been minimized. Central State University’s campus
safety record is among the best in Ohio, and the University is proud of its past record in the area of crime prevention.
To reduce crime and to ensure that the University community is as safe and secure as possible, the Central State
University Department of Public Safety employs 15 full-time officers and staff led by a Chief of Police. All officers are
certified in the State of Ohio through the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy and undergo continuing specialized
training to maintain and improve their skills. All are trained in first aid and regularly train in the use of firearms.

OFFICE OF SPONSORED PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH
Dr. Morakinyo A.O. Kuti, Associate Provost for Research
The mission of the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research is to maximize the success of the university in winning
and executing project and program awards, whether in the form of grants, contracts, or sponsored research.
Grants and contracts from both government and private sources provide essential support for the sustenance and
growth of the university. In recent years, there has been a shift toward contracts as the primary mechanism for
channeling support from these agents to universities. This reflects the supporting agencies’ increasing focus on
demonstrating positive and tangible results deriving from the activities they are funding. The contracted project arena is
generally much more competitive than the grants arena and the requirements for performance are more stringent.
Since the trend toward an increasing focus on contracts as a major avenue for making funding available to universities is
likely to continue, it is important that the university position itself to capture and successfully implement a fair share of
the contracted projects as well as those resulting from grants.
The Office of Sponsored Programs and Research (OSP&R) is the focal point for ensuring that the university is successful
in winning a reasonable number of such projects both in the short and long term, and that it is successful in the
administration and execution of those projects once they are awarded. In general, sponsored activities are directly
related to the three-fold mission of the institution: research, teaching, and public service.
THE TITLE III PROGRAM
Ms. Karen Franklin, Director
Title III, Part B is a federal institutional development grant that provides financial assistance to Historically Black Colleges
and Universities (HBCUs) to establish or strengthen their physical plants, financial management, academic resources,
and endowment building capacity. Activities may include student services, educational equipment acquisition, facility
construction, and faculty and staff development. It is a formula-based discretionary grant made to the President
PURPOSES OF TITLE III STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS AT CSU
The U.S. Department of Education’s Institutional Development and Undergraduate Education Service (IDUES)
administers the Title III Program. The Title III Program is focused on institutions that enroll large proportions of
underrepresented students. It strengthens these institutions by
• Improving Academic Quality
• Improving Fiscal Stability
• Improving the Quality of Student Services
• Improving the Quality of Institutional Management
At Central State University, Title III support is used to
• Enhance the quality of academic services.
• Increase student enrollment and qualified faculty and staff
• Improve the financial stability of CSU.
• Facilitate alignment of the institution with successful execution of strategic initiatives.
TRIO STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Mr. Mortenous A. Johnson, Director

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER
Vacant
The Undergraduate Student Success Center (USSC) has the responsibility of providing academic and social support
services to aid the university in increasing its student success rates. It is designed to assist students in developing
positive relationships with faculty, staff, and other students, which will foster a strong academic and co-curricular
foundation at CSU and provide programs for students to learn the skills, habits, and dispositions they need to achieve
academic success. Its organizational units provide academic advising; tutoring and supplemental instruction; retention
tracking; and social developmental skills, especially for first-generation college students. USSC is organized into three
units:
OFFICE OF ACADEMIC COACHING AND ADVISING (OACA)
The Office of Academic Coaching and Advising (OACA) helps freshmen, sophomores, and transfer students in the
development of educational plans and goals. Through communication and information exchanges with an advisor;
students can maximize their educational potential.
Academic coaching and advising are integral components of the educational process at CSU. Hence, OACA serves to
support students with less than 60 credit hours in selecting and/or changing their majors, scheduling courses, and
supporting continuing freshmen who find themselves academically at-risk (on probation or re-admitted to the university
following a period of academic suspension). Academically at-risk students work closely with their academic advisors to
achieve good academic standing and to complete their programs successfully.
OFFICE OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES (OASIS)
The Office of Academic Support & Instructional Services (OASIS) is committed to assisting students in becoming
independent learners by pairing them with peer tutors and providing workshops and private sessions with writing or
math specialists. OASIS provides a variety of programs and services for all students but has major responsibility for
supporting the academic success of new incoming freshmen. These programs and services include learning skill
development and tutorial programs to help students successfully complete their current courses. Peer tutoring services
are typically 1:1 and are available at no cost to any student who is currently enrolled at CSU. Tutoring is available in over
40 courses, many of which are general education courses. A tutoring request can be initiated by a student, an instructor,
an academic advisor, or a staff member, simply by the completion of a tutor request form. These forms are available at
various locations within the Norman E. Ward Sr. Bldg.
OFFICE OF RETENTION & FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE (ORFYE)
The Office of Retention & First Year Experience (ORFYE) provides new student transition services, success coaching, and
initiative-based programming for first-year and transfer students.
As we support new students, we desire to:
1. Build community through an engagement-driven orientation and outreach experience;
2. Enhance connections with services and resources coordinated within the campus community;
3. Create confidence in self-awareness and learning to enable student preparedness for collegiate study;
4. Promote proactive interactions with students to meet early detection and intervention needs.
This office integrates varied resources and collaborates with other units within the Undergraduate Student Success
Center, The Office of Retention and Academic Success, and Student Affairs and Enrollment Management to ensure
students have a strong educational foundation coupled with a rich collegiate experience. This experience includes
initiatives and institutional collaboration with offices, such as Career Services, Academic Empowerment and
84
Accessibility, Student Engagement & Leadership Development, Residence Life, Counseling Services and student outreach
opportunities at CSU-Dayton. In addition, to address the needs of sophomore students on campus and to alleviate
common stressors that impact students during their second year of college, the office will offer a new approach toward
sophomore success. This approach will include continued collaborations that will provide sophomore support services
and encourage student engagement at all levels.
Our newest initiative is the Marauder Achievement Program. This is a mandatory, three-tier Academic Probation
program for first-year and sophomore students who fall below a 2.0 GPA. The role of the student is to take academic
responsibility with support from the Undergraduate Student Success Center. The Marauder Achievement Program is in
collaboration with USS 1200, providing the students with an effective curriculum to get the student off probation and
into good academic standing.
FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE COURSE OFFERINGS
The office further establishes an academic foundation rooted in the implementation and coordination of First-Year
Experience course offerings.
USS 1000. Undergraduate Success Seminar (I, II; 2) This is a two-credit hour course that provides opportunities for
students to learn and apply practical knowledge and skills required for success at the college-level. Topics include CSU
resources, policies, and processes; utilization of technology; health and wellness; financial and information literacy, and
the history of HBCU’s, and CSU, within their cultural and historical context. The course consists of live seminars,
completion of online coursework, and participation in qualifying campus events. This course is a General Education
requirement for all first-year students and is a graduation requirement.
USS 1200. Undergraduate Success Skills (II, on demand; 1) Designed to help students with goal setting, financial
literacy, time management, study skills, and reflection. This course is structured for students to develop and implement
a successful academic plan to sustain matriculation. It is a requirement for freshmen with an academic standing of

business and society.
MISSION STATEMENT
The College of Business is committed to providing students with a nurturing educational environment in their personal
and professional endeavors. We emphasize academic excellence in teaching, research and outreach in a dynamic global
business environment.
The College of Business prepares students for careers in business, government, private and public non-profit
organizations and for graduate school. The college takes great care to ensure that graduates are well rounded
individuals through its “Triad for Success” which includes emphasis on academics, experiential learning and professional
development. Other objectives of the college are to:
1. Provide students with an understanding of the application of business principles and operations to actual work
experiences or practical problem solving activities.
2. Assist students in understanding their responsibility to the economic system and the political and social
environment.
3. Provide learning experiences that involve state of the-art technology particularly as it relates to computerization
and expert systems.
4. Provide experience which will enable the student to develop interpersonal skills necessary for proper
functioning in a variety of social settings.
5. Develop within students an appreciation for the fact that the work world of today is not limited by national
boundaries. In fact, a global perspective is necessary to succeed in today’s dynamic international environment.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Students will be admitted to the College of Business upon entry to the university by declaring a major within one of the
college disciplines.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students in the College of Business are required to confer with an assigned faculty advisor on a regular basis. Beyond
this advisement, students are personally responsible not only for selecting their academic programs, but also for
adhering to all published regulations, requirements and policies of the University and college. Students are expected to
seek regular academic advisement and ultimately are individually responsible for completing all degree requirements.
During the Spring Semester immediately prior to the year in which a student expects to graduate, students must confer
both with their advisor and the chair of the major department for a final degree checkout and preparation of an
application for graduation.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
Central State University accepts transfer credit from colleges and universities accredited by regional accrediting
associations. The registrar will determine whether the university accepts credit from other universities. Under state law,
the university is required to accept grades of “D” or better for transfer credit from state assisted colleges and
universities in Ohio. (Credits from “D” grade courses will count towards the 121 credits required for graduation.
86
However, the student may still need to repeat the class if Central State University requires a “C” grade in the course).
Grades of “C” or better are generally acceptable from out-of-state schools. Department chairs will determine whether
credits accepted by Central State University may be used to satisfy major requirements.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The General Education Program, a common core of 38 semester hours, is central to the University’s mission of providing
students with a liberal arts background. The remaining hours that must be taken to earn a total of at least 120 semester
hours are designated by the departmental major requirements and the student’s choice of free electives. However,
majors in the college are urged to choose, with an advisor, courses that provide the student with a second field of
interest or a strong minor concentration.
• Completion of a minimum of 121 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.0. Some departments or
programs may require additional hours and a higher-grade point average.
• Completion of at least 30 semester hours in a major field. Some departments may require additional hours.
• Completion of the University’s General Education Requirements.
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
DOUBLE MAJORS WITH BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Given the many overlapping requirements in the degree programs in Economics and Business Administration, it is
possible for a student to major in both by focusing on the choice of elective courses in these areas. Economics courses
can be electives for the Business Administration major and business courses may serve as electives for the Economics
major.
CAREER PROSPECTS
In general, department graduates pursue advanced graduate school studies in Accounting, Finance, and Economics or
begin their professional careers. Graduates go directly to the professional labor market prepared to develop successful
careers with the Federal Reserve System, national and state banks, state and federal government agencies, private
industry, as well as financial services. These graduates are prepared for research and consulting work in corporate
enterprises, labor unions, private research organizations and law. These graduates are also prepared for postgraduate
studies.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE
The Department of Health and Human Performance offers educator preparation programs, a program that prepares
students for professional careers in the recreation industry. The Department has established clinical sites through
partnerships with area schools and community agencies and organizations that provide recreation services.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
The Department offers the Recreation Program that leads to the Bachelor of Science Degree. The Recreation Program
prepares students for employment with recreation agencies, YMCA, YWCA, and as a program coordinator in the leisure
industry.
The goals of the Department of Health and Human Performance are:
1. To prepare students for professional careers in the field of recreation and leisure services.
2. To provide basic instruction in lifetime sports and activities that enable students to develop knowledge and skills
leading to life-long knowledge.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
All Students transferring from another institution must submit an official transcript and obtain a transcript evaluation for
program admission.
The Recreation Program leads to the Bachelor of Science Degree and prepares students for professional careers with
recreation agencies and as recreation coordinators in the leisure industry. In addition to general education courses,
students in the Recreation Program are required to complete courses in leadership and programming; history and
principles of recreation; organization and administration; therapeutic recreation; and legal and financial aspects of
recreation. Fifteen weeks of Clinical Experience through fieldwork with an appropriate agency is required.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
To pursue a major in the Recreation Program, students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Twelve
to fifteen weeks of clinical experience through Field Experiences are required. Because clinical assignment is usually with
an agency that serves different age groups, students are required to submit to the Department the results of a current
BCII/FBI background check or current employment verification sheet that clears the student for participation in the
Program. Each background check is valid for one calendar year. Therefore, a candidate may need a minimum of two
BCII/FBI background checks before completing the Program. For more information about BCII/FBI background checks,
candidates should contact their advisors and/or TEAP-C.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students in the Recreation Program are required to meet regularly with their advisor. Students are required to comply
with all regulations stipulated by the University, the College of Education, and the Department of Health and Human
Performance. Though expected to seek academic advisement and guidance, students are ultimately responsible for
satisfying all the degree requirements. Students, in consultation with their advisor, must submit an application for
graduation at a time stipulated by the Department and the University.
STUDENT MONITORING

TEACHER EDUCATION ADVISEMENT AND PARTNERSHIP CENTER (TEAP-C)
ADMISSION TO EDUCATOR PREPARATION PROGRAMS STUDENT MONITORING AND ADVISEMENT
The Teacher Education Advisement and Partnership Center (TEAP-C) is a support unit within the College of Education that
fosters candidate retention and timely graduation. The Center’s primary purpose is to provide services to candidates as
they complete their programs of study. Admission to Educator Preparation is coordinated by TEAP-C. Candidates seeking
admission are advised and monitored by TEAP-C staff throughout the process. Specifically, the Center:
1. Assists candidates in academic planning from enrollment to program admission.
2. Advises candidates on selection of teacher education major, course scheduling, and career goals.
3. Plans and coordinates activities to strengthen candidates’ academic skills.
4. Prepares and distributes information regarding the availability of appropriate University resources.
5. Provides supplemental materials that assist candidates in satisfying professional testing requirements (Ohio
Assessments for Educators.)
6. Maintains program admission records of candidates enrolled in Educator Preparation Programs
ADMISSIONS TO EDUCATOR PREPARATION
Admission to the College of Education is required before candidates can enter a major in the Educator Preparation
Program and enroll in upper level education courses. To be eligible to submit an admission application, candidates must
satisfy the following requirements:
1. Submit acceptable Admissions Application
2. Earn a minimum GPA of 3.0 (Transfer Students after 12 semester credit hours.)
3. Earn a minimum of 32 hours in general education courses (20 hours for Music)
4. Clear BCII/FBI Check Results or school district verification form

134
REQUIRED FIELD AND CLINICAL EXPERIENCES
Clinical experiences are a critical component of the preparation of future teachers. The experiences serve as opportunities
for candidates to develop their teaching skills as they enhance their understanding of the teaching profession. Clinical
experiences also provide the opportunity to assess the candidates’ mastery of pedagogy and content knowledge and their
emerging professionalism as evidenced through the development of professional dispositions. Students should consult
the Educator Preparation Handbook for additional information.
After admission to the Educator Preparation Program (EPP), candidates are eligible to take required method courses for
their major. Candidates participate in field experiences that introduce the practical aspects of the teaching profession. The
field work requirements provide candidates with sequentially designed, performance-based experiences that 1) allow
candidates to develop an understanding of the role of the classroom teacher as presented from the teacher’s perspective;
2) allow candidates to realize the connection of theory to the practical application; and 3) allow candidates to develop
teaching competencies through actual classroom application and practice. Field Work requirements are connected to
individual courses in the professional education sequence (See Course Description section to identify professional
education courses that require field work assignments). Further information regarding field work assignment and
placements is provided during candidates’ enrollment in the applicable professional education courses.
Student Teaching is the capstone event of the teacher education process. Twelve to fifteen weeks of clinical experience
through Student Teaching are required. The student teaching experience places candidates under the direct supervision
of both the University supervisor and the classroom teacher. During the Student Teaching experience, opportunities are
provided for candidates to bridge theory and practice in the professional setting that is authentic, real life, and real
time. As the culminating requirement of the teacher preparation program, candidates are provided guidance as they
demonstrate their mastery of the professional expectations and requirements of being an effective teacher. Also, as
mastery is demonstrated, candidates are provided the results of constructive assessments throughout the process.
ADMISSION TO STUDENT TEACHING
To be approved for Student Teaching, candidates must have been previously admitted to the College of Education and
completed all required coursework. Specifically, for admission to Student Teaching, candidates must satisfy the following
requirements:
1. A cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or better;
2. All other course work completed as included on the suggested Program of Study;
3. Passing scores on Ohio Assessment for Educators (OAE) required for program of study (see EPP Handbook);
4. Current and acceptable BCII/FBI background check that clears the candidate to enroll in Student Teaching;
5. A completed Special Needs Accommodation Form, if applicable;
Candidates are encouraged to contact their advisor for additional information and directions on applying for Student
Teaching.

COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES, ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
Dr. Amy Hobbs Harris, Dean
The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHAS) provides students with a strong liberal arts foundation for
responsible citizenship in a global community.
The College offers 16-degree programs in the fine and performing arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. In
addition, by offering courses to support the General Education program, the College provides students with a broad
foundation in the liberal arts. The guiding principle of General Education is that each person who graduates from college
should possess the ability to think carefully and analytically, to communicate information and ideas effectively, to know
history and its role in shaping the present, to use technology to enhance learning, and to understand human life more
deeply and productively through acquaintance with the work of writers, thinkers, and pioneers in the arts, humanities,
and social sciences.
The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences is organized through four academic departments of Fine and
Performing Arts, Humanities, Communications, Composition, and Literature, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. The
College also houses the Stokes Center on Aging, an Honors Program, federal and state-funded research programs, and the
Mass Communications Center. The Fine and Performing Arts program has been designated as a Center of Excellence by
the Ohio Board of Regents.
Undergraduate degree offerings include Journalism and Digital Media, English, Fine Arts, History, and Music. Through the
disciplines of Criminal Justice, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work and Sociology, the College offers baccalaureate
degree programs that prepare students for careers in the pure and applied sciences. The programs in International
Languages, Gerontology, African Studies, Africana Studies, and Philosophy serve to support major and minor degree
offerings, and the University General Education Requirements. The Music and Art programs are accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Music and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design respectively.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Students are admitted to the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences by declaring a major in, or an intention to
apply to one of the sixteen degree programs in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences are required to confer with an assigned faculty advisor
within their major, or with a professional advisor in the Undergraduate Student Success Center on a regular basis. Students
are personally responsible not only for selecting their academic programs, but also for adhering to all published regulations
and requirements of the University. Students are expected to seek regular academic advisement and are individually
responsible for completing all degree requirements.
During the semester immediately prior to the year in which a student expects to graduate, he or she must confer with his
or her advisor and the chair of the major department for a final degree checkout and preparation of an application for
graduation. Completed graduation applications are due in the College Dean’s office prior to the end of the first semester
of the year in which a student expects to graduate.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
Students who transfer from other colleges of the University and from other accredited colleges and universities must meet
with the department chairperson to review and determine the acceptability of transfer credits to the intended degree
136
program. The chairperson may decline to accept the transfer credit(s) for any course which does not meet an approved
course description, or for which the grade is lower than a “C,” or which does not meet the University General Education
Requirements.
Students who have completed the Ohio Transfer Module (see pages 51-55) at another school will automatically receive
credit for Central State’s Transfer Module. Such students will, however, be required to meet some additional General
Education Requirements not included in the Transfer Module.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The General Education Program, a common curriculum of 42-46 semester hours, is central to the University’s mission of
providing students with a liberal arts background.
The remaining hours that must be taken to earn a minimum of 120 semester hours come from the departmental major
requirements and student’s choice of free electives. However, majors in the College are urged to choose, with an advisor,
courses that provide the student with a second field of interest or a strong minor concentration. Minimum graduation
requirements include:
• Completion of at least 120 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.00. Some departments or programs
may require additional hours and a higher grade point average,
• Completion of at least 30 semester hours in a major field. Some departments may require additional hours,
• Completion of the University General Education Requirements. See complete description on pages 47-50 of this
catalog, and
• Successful completion of the University’s English Proficiency Requirement for Graduation.
PRE-LAW OPTIONS
Students interested in law school may minor in pre-law. This option is designed for students who wish to pursue any career
related to law. Aside from a career as an attorney-at-law, such careers might include public policy, government leadership,
criminal justice, education, and related fields.
137
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS, COMPOSITION AND LANGUAGES
The Department of Communications, Composition, and Languages houses three academic programs: Journalism and
Digital Media. English Composition, and International Languages and Cultures.
The Department offers one degree: a B.A. in Journalism and Digital Media, and minors in Creative Writing, French,
International Languages and Cultures, Journalism and Digital Media, Public Relations, and Spanish.
The Department supports the creative and professional growth of both students and faculty. Its course offerings are
aligned with the University’s four institutional learning outcomes: effective communication, critical thinking,
understanding and appreciation of diversity in social and cultural values, and understanding and application of
quantitative reasoning and the scientific process.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Students who take courses in the Communications, Composition, and Languages Department develop highly sought job
skills. These skills include the ability to conduct research and to communicate orally and through the written word.
Research and communication skills are essential in many careers, including journalism, public relations, strategic media,
law, teaching, marketing, advertising, sales, and many more.
Employers value research skills because they help companies develop products and/or services, identify the needs of
customers, improve their performance, keep up with changes in the industry, and compete in the marketplace.
Employers value communication skills because they help companies operate efficiently, minimize misunderstandings,
improve training, and reach new customers.
Communication today is complicated and takes many forms. We communicate in person, over the phone, and over the
Internet. We send tweets, emails, letters, text messages, instant messages, and audio and video files. We communicate
verbally and non-verbally.
The ability to communicate easily and persuasively, without confusing or upsetting people, is essential in every business.
A poor communicator is unlikely to advance professionally.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Students in the CCL department are required to attend class regularly, submit work assignments, meet deadlines, and
study. They are encouraged to participate in co-curricular and pre-professional activities. They are expected to meet
regularly with their academic advisor and with faculty members during office hours.
Faculty members are able, willing, and eager to assist students. However, the student is ultimately responsible for
understanding and completing the requirements of the student’s degree program.

MUSIC
The music programs are designed to produce graduates who are thoughtful, articulate, and literate artist-scholars, who
possess a broad liberal arts background and the skills necessary to compete in a technologically sophisticated world.
Students master the language of music (and a number of its diverse dialects), demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the
history of music, the arts, and civilization from a world (multicultural) perspective, and critically evaluate music and the
arts using both personal and established criteria.
Music graduates educate, perform, improvise, compose and publish. Their teaching and their original artistic expressions
are informed by knowledge of musical syntax, vocabulary, form, history, style, and aesthetics. The curriculum, the
faculty, and all aspects of the academic program work together to create a nurturing, artistic environment in which
students develop confidence, discipline, and independence, and become mature individuals who are actively engaged in
their professions and assume responsibility for their lifelong development and learning.
MISSION
The mission of the Music Program is to create and sustain a nurturing intellectual and artistic environment in which
students find learning to be satisfying and in which each student’s intellectual curiosity is stimulated to engage in a
continuous search for knowledge. Within the framework of this mission, the music faculty strives to:
• Develop in students the ability to perceive, react to, write about, perform, conceptualize, analyze, evaluate, and
value music
• Provide students with opportunities to develop critical thinking skills in their chosen discipline
• Expose students to the music of other cultures to clarify music’s significance and role in those cultures, and explore
the influences cultures have had on each other through the arts, especially music
• Prepare students for professions related to their degree program, while addressing the challenges of a
technologically oriented world
• Prepare students for graduate studies by addressing areas of weakness while emphasizing strengths and by
instilling in students an aspiration for excellence
• Promote the serious study of the various genres of African American music
• Enhance music performance skills through student performance in ensembles: concert band, marching band,
chorus, university singers, ethnic-based ensembles, jazz ensembles, wind ensembles, percussion ensembles,
opera workshop, and musical theatre
• Expose students to outstanding scholars, teachers, and performers in the field of music by collaborating with other
educational institutions, business organizations, major orchestras, the professional music community, and
government agencies.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MUSIC MAJORS
The department publishes a Student Handbook containing detailed information about graduation and other requirements
for all three music degrees. Students must read this information and work with their faculty advisors to ensure that each
requirement is fulfilled before graduation.
All music majors must meet the following requirements (other additional requirements specific to each degree are
outlined in the Student Handbook):
• All students must audition on their instrument and receive departmental approval before registering for a
principal applied class.
• Each student enrolled in a degree program in music must pass comprehensive junior and senior examinations.
145
• Music students are required to participate in department ensembles (please see the Student Handbook for
information about the ensemble requirements for each degree program).
• Music Education majors must register for and pass seven semester hours of Student Recital MUS 1000 and Music

• Music students must perform on a Student Recital program once each semester they are enrolled in principle
applied courses, except for the first semester they are registered.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MUSIC EDUCATION MAJORS
Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Music in Music Education degree program should be aware of the following
requirements:
• Students are enrolled first in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences and then must apply for
acceptance into the College of Education before being allowed to fulfill the student teaching requirement
(information about application procedures and deadlines are available from the College of Education).
• Music Education majors must complete the application procedure required by the College of Education for a
Student Teaching assignment.
• Music Education majors must complete all requirements of the Teacher Education and Licensure Program as

• Music Education majors develop competencies required by the Ohio Department of Education’s Teacher
Education and Licensure Standards. Exact standards for each course are included with the syllabus.
• Music Education majors (except for those students who are piano majors) must pass a piano proficiency exam
before they will be allowed to register for Student Teaching.
• Music Education majors must receive department approval to present a Senior Recital (the faculty will listen to
the student perform the recital repertory at least two weeks prior to the planned recital date to judge whether
the student is prepared) and must pass the Senior Recital requirement before a student will be allowed to register
for Student Teaching (exceptions to this will be made only with the approval of the entire department faculty).
• Music Education majors must submit a clinical/field-based experience inventory form documenting the hours the
student has been involved in clinical/field-based experience before the student will be allowed to register for

The Department also offers minors in Pre-Law, Philosophy & Religion, Africana Studies, Literature, Environmental
Humanities, and Gender and Sexuality Studies.
All majors in the department must complete the university’s general education curriculum, the specific requirements of
the chosen major field, and the special requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students are responsible for knowing
and adhering to required exam schedules and for following announced deadlines for applying for graduation.
The Department of Humanities supports the larger mission of Central State University; educates students in their B.A. and
Minor fields and in General Education courses; stresses critical, independent thinking in its curricula; and supports the
creative and professional growth of both students and faculty.
ENGLISH
The English program offers a curriculum of writing courses to support the university’s general education curriculum as
well as two degrees: the B.A. in English with a literature option and the B.A. in English with a pre-law option. Each degree
requires that students earn at least a “C” in major courses being used to satisfy graduation requirements. MINORS:
Creative Writing, Literature, Pre-Law.
Majoring in English literature develops strong abilities in critical thinking, research, analytical and persuasive writing, and
critical reading. The program offers a wide variety of courses in creative writing, literature, rhetoric and composition, as
well as cultural studies and criticism, world literature, and diverse special topics.
Students pursuing a legal career must be well prepared for the academic rigors of law school and the legal profession.
Essential areas of development for the pre-law student are analytical thinking, critical reading, superior writing and
research, and task management and organizational skills. To assist the pre-law student in the development of these areas,
the Department of Humanities offers both an English Pre-Law major and minor in addition to the pre-law program and
student group.
HISTORY
The History program offers a B.A. degree in History, where majors complete at least 33 credit hours from a group of
required and elective courses in the major field. The program also offers HIS 1110, 1121 and 1122 to support the
university’s general education program. A grade of “C” or better is required in major courses.
INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
The Interdisciplinary Studies program prepares students for a wide range of careers by fostering the adaptability, critical
thinking, creativity, and communication skills necessary for personal and professional success in the 21
st
century. The
curriculum provides unique opportunities for students to explore more than one discipline and develop the abilities,
skills, and interests that lead to fulfilling careers and that employers are consistently seeking in college graduates. This
approach draws on the strengths of multiple fields, making students more well-rounded critical thinkers well suited to
adapt to our rapidly changing world.
150
The BA in Humanities–Interdisciplinary Studies is a rigorous humanities-based degree program. The program's
customizable liberal-arts style degree plan supports a variety of student goals, including incorporating differing fields of
interest, continuing education from a 2-year degree program, transferring with diverse course credits, or changing
majors. Because the program is designed to give students a competitive edge in the job market, this degree is especially
beneficial for students interested in combining the humanities with training in medicine, business, physics, science,
technology, or other fields.
Students in the IDS program take courses across the disciplines housed in the Humanities Department; their curriculum
includes a required introduction to interdisciplinary studies, three courses focused in one specific discipline, key
required courses from each departmental discipline, and a concluding capstone course specific to IDS. Students develop
their focus with a portfolio that is built through their work throughout the program of study.
PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION
The Philosophy & Religion program offers a minor in Philosophy & Religion and supports the university’s general education
curriculum with introductory courses in philosophy, religion, ethics, and critical thinking. The program also offers upper-
level courses that support a range of major and minor degree programs across the university. The program has special
strengths in social, political, and moral philosophy, and its pluralistic curriculum offers students the opportunity to study
thinkers and texts from diverse historical and geographical intellectual traditions. Analytical thinking, analytical writing,
and creativity are the core skills students develop when taking courses in the Philosophy & Religion program. Students
learn practical ways of applying philosophy in their majors, their professions, and their everyday lives.
PRE-LAW
Students pursuing a legal career must be well prepared for the academic rigors of law school and the legal
profession. Essential areas of development for the Pre-Law student are analytical thinking, critical reading, superior
writing and research, and task management and organizational skills. To assist the Pre-Law students in the development
of these areas, Central State University offers a Pre-Law Interdisciplinary Minor.
DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES INTERNSHIPS GUIDELINES FOR ENGLISH AND HISTORY
The following guidelines for departmental internships outline the responsibilities of the student, the supervisor, and the
participating faculty members. Please consult the Director of the Journalism and Digital Media program for internship
guidelines in that area.
1. You must achieve junior classification to be eligible for an internship.
2. You should have a minimum 3.0 average in the major, and the permission of an instructor in the major, to obtain
an internship.
3. When preparing for an internship, you must write a proposal (three typewritten pages) which explains the specific
internship desired your experience and course work in the field, and how you want your internship to contribute
to your career goals. This proposal is due to the department chair no later than the first week of class during the
semester in which you begin the internship.
4. Normally you will receive academic credit for your internship (3, 4 or 5 hours) rather than payment. An employer
choosing to pay a student should do so at the prevailing minimum wage rate.
5. You may do your internship during a regular academic semester, during summer school, or during winter break.
It is your responsibility to make sure that you are properly registered to receive academic credit. Up to two
internships may be completed for academic credit. Retroactive credit cannot be given.
6. Each week you must participate in three to four hours of internship experience for each hour of academic credit
received (based on a 17-week semester).
151
7. When applicable, you should develop a portfolio during the internship to be used later in interviews and as a
reference source of your abilities.
8. Your supervisor must complete the Internship Evaluation Form, evaluating your performance, and return it to the
department chair by the last day of class during the internship semester.
9. At the end of the internship, you must write an exit essay (three typewritten pages), in which you evaluate the
experience. The essay should cover such issues as what you learned, whether it matched your expectations,
whether and how it has promoted your career goals, and whether your ideas about your profession has changed
as a result of the internship. The exit essay is due to the department chair by the last day of class.
10. The internship grade will be based on the supervisor’s evaluation, the proposal, and the exit essay. For cases in
which either the proposal or the exit essay has not been submitted to the department chair, the final grade will
be adjusted accordingly.
11. Off-campus internships are limited and will be offered on a competitive basis to students based on GPA,
commitment to a strong professional work ethic, ability to get along with others, dependability, and ability to
project a positive image of the University. On-campus internships also may be limited and will be offered on a
first-come basis, with preference given to graduating seniors.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
People who have earned 4-year degrees in the humanities have developed the skills and abilities highly sought after by
most employers as well as most graduate and professional programs. Indeed, there is a wide spectrum of career choices
available to someone who has majored in a field within the humanities. Popular career pathways include management
and marketing, healthcare fields, and careers involving the creation of cutting-edge technology.
Businesses need the skills that humanities courses excel at developing. Surveys consistently show that the top attribute
employers look for in job candidates is written communication skills. 80% of employers want to see proof of these skills
before they hire someone. The top ten attributes that come after that include problem solving, ability to work in a team,
analytical skills, verbal communication skills, leadership, detail-oriented, and flexibility/adaptability, attributes that our
curriculum is designed to foster.
Evidence shows that humanities majors do well in business: 15% of humanities graduates go on to management positions,
14% go into office and administrative positions, 13% are in sales, and another 10% are in business and finance. Among
managers in the marketing, advertising, and PR industries, those who studied the liberal arts earn an average of $20,000
a year more than those who majored in advertising and PR.
Tech giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google consistently express a need for college graduates to have a
well-rounded education that includes a strong background in the humanities. A 2015 Forbes article offers an example: a
marketing manager at Facebook, Bess Yount earned a Stanford bachelor's degree in communication and a master's in
sociology. "‘I've always had a greater love for words than numbers,’ Yount says. That hasn't been a problem. When she
joined Facebook in 2010, the social media company was evolving rapidly beyond its engineer-centric beginnings. Instead
of envisioning a day when ads could be booked online without ever talking to a human being, Facebook's leaders began
tapping into the benefits of a personal touch” (from “That ‘Useless’ Liberal Arts Degree has Become Tech’s Hottest
Ticket”).
Data from places such as Google show how critical an education based in the humanities is for anyone who wants to go
into the tech industry. In 2013, Google analyzed its own hiring, firing, and promotions data going back to 1998. Of the
eight most important qualities of Google’s top employees, STEM expertise comes last. The seven traits above it are what
are often referred to as soft skills: being a good coach, communicating and listening well, possessing insights into others
(including others different values and points of view), having empathy toward and being supportive of one’s colleagues,
being a good critical thinker and problem solver, and being able to make connections across complex ideas. These results
led Google to change its hiring practices to include humanities majors and artists.
152
Medical school administrators have been saying for decades that they want applicants with liberal arts and humanities
backgrounds, that they greatly value what such applicants bring to the study of medicine, and that the medical doctors
they graduate need experience with the humanities. Information on the application requirements for medical schools is
available in this course catalog in the College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture’s section: “Preparation
for Healthcare Professions.” The high value that medical schools place on applicants with a broad undergraduate
education based in the humanities shows strongly in whom those schools accept into their programs. A recent report by
the American Association of Medical Colleges identifies humanities majors as having the highest acceptance rate into
medical schools. Looking at these acceptance rates, more humanities majors are accepted than majors in biological
sciences, math and statistics, physical sciences, and specialized health sciences. The data show that humanities majors
have been the most likely to make it into medical school.
Additionally, a 2017 survey of more than 700 medical students found that the higher the students' exposure to the
humanities, the higher the students scored on measures of empathy, wisdom, tolerance of ambiguity, resourcefulness,
and emotional intelligence, and the lower they scored in signs of burnout. Majors in the humanities help students gain
the necessary experience that can make them stronger applicants for medical school and better medical doctors.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students in the program are required to meet regularly with their advisor. Though expected to seek academic advisement
and guidance, students are ultimately responsible for complying with all university, college, and department regulations,
and for satisfying all degree requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
The Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences offers major concentrations in the disciplines of criminal justice, political
science, psychology, social work, and sociology, and minor concentrations in criminal justice, gerontology, political science,
psychology, and sociology. In addition to the offerings for students whose major or minor interest is in the social sciences,
the department provides general education courses and service to other departments (e.g., communications, secondary
education, and health and recreation).
The department offers programs leading to the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Political Science
(Public Administration), Psychology, Social Work, and Sociology; Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, Psychology, Social
Work, or Sociology. All majors in the department must fulfill the stipulated General Education Requirements and the
specific requirements of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social and Behavioral Sciences, as well as any special
requirements for the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE
The Criminal Justice program provides an overview of the criminal justice system, the causes of crime and issues relating
to social control. The major is structured around a core of criminal justice courses that include topics in law enforcement,
the judicial process and correctional system. The course of study
consists of a general overview of the components of the criminal justice system
Within the major, students may choose to emphasize one of three areas. The law enforcement emphasis is designed
primarily for students who wish to become local, state or federal law enforcement officers (e.g., city police officers, state
highway patrol officers or Federal Bureau of Investigation agents). The judicial emphasis is for those students who wish to
continue their education in law school or other areas of this branch of the criminal justice system (e.g., victim advocate,
pretrial investigator, etc). Finally, the corrections emphasis is best suited for students who wish to work in a correctional
setting for juveniles or adults (e.g., correctional caseworker, correctional officer, drug counselor, parole officer or
probation officer). Students must make a “C” or better in all criminal justice courses and in SOC 2206 and SOC 3333.
POLITICAL SCIENCE
The Political Science program offers a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (Public
Administration). The discipline offers a broad range of courses that permit specialization in American government and
politics, international politics and comparative politics, or public administration. Individual programs combining the
required 33 credit hours of political science courses with related courses from other disciplines allow students to prepare
for different careers. The BA in Political Science is a traditional preparation for law school. The option in Public
Administration combines general knowledge, administrative concepts, and skills courses in a curriculum designed to
prepare students for careers in public agencies.
The political science faculty supports the development of a sound liberal arts foundation and appropriate pre-professional
skills for all majors. Courses are designed to further understanding of the institutions and processes of government and
the behavior of decision-makers, to promote awareness of the perennial questions of political inquiry and the concepts
useful in responding to them; and to develop analytical skills.
As a discipline, Political Science is divided into areas of study based on subject matter. At CSU, political science courses
are placed in the following groupings: American National Government and Political Theory (PSC 1100, PSC 2223, PSC 3304,
3351, PSC 3353, PSC 3361, PSC 3362, PSC 3365, PSC 3381); Public Administration (PSC 1120, PSC 3310, PSC 3390, PSC
4403, PSC 4493); and Comparative Politics and International Relations (PSC 2202, PSC 2205, PSC 2405, PSC 3311, PSC
3371). Students are to use these groupings to select their three areas of study.
PSYCHOLOGY
158
The Psychology program is designed to provide students with a broad knowledge of the field of psychology. In addition to
ensuring the development of professional skills, the program prepares students for graduate study in psychology or other
academic disciplines and employment in the fields of mental health, social services, criminal justice, gerontology,
education, and related areas and industry. Courses are offered for both majors and non-majors. Extensive use of speakers
and extracurricular activities allow students to explore a wide range of views of issues related to the field of psychology.
The faculty possesses diverse professional expertise in psychology, is involved in research and pursues working
relationships with other professional institutions. Students also have the opportunity for experiential learning through
field experience and research projects. In collaboration with the University’s Career Services, the department provides
field placement opportunities for practical experience in various agencies and organizations. Research opportunities are
available through independent study with faculty or conducting research projects on the student’s topic of choice.
SOCIAL WORK
The primary objective of the social work curriculum is to prepare students for entry-level professional practice. Students
are provided opportunities for the study and development of generalist knowledge of social work, skills, values, and ethics
required of professional social workers.
The content courses, along with field practicum, are designed to provide students with a broad and comprehensive
theoretical knowledge base integrated with practical experience. Graduates of the program may seek beginning level
social work employment or pursue graduate study. Students who plan to major in social work may take the introductory
courses and are considered pre-social work students until they are formally accepted into the program. Transfer students
must meet with a social work adviser to determine acceptable transfer courses for the social work major.
The major in social work consists of 49 credit hours. Students must complete a formal application to the program at the
end of their freshman year and after the completion of SWK 1100, SWK 2200, ENG 1102, and MTH 1550 with a grade of
“C” or above and have completed 30 semester hours. To be accepted into the program, students must have a cumulative
grade point average of 2.0. Students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better to graduate with a
degree in social work. Students who fail to earn a “C” or better in all social work courses must repeat these courses.
The social work practicum consists of one semester and is designed to provide students with appropriate practice
experiences to ensure their professional development. Students must complete a formal application for the field
education courses, SWK 4595 and SWK 4596. The social work faculty will determine students’ readiness for the field
practicum courses. Applications for the Social Work Program are located in room 311, Wesley Hall. The applications are
reviewed by the social work faculty and students may also be interviewed prior to final decisions. Course offerings and
program policies regarding requirements for majors are subject to continuous review and may be changed.
SOCIOLOGY AND GERONTOLOGY
The area offers a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science in Sociology and minors in Sociology and Gerontology. The
courses are diverse and represent a broad range of practical and theoretical issues in the discipline. Opportunities exist
for students to engage in research under the supervision of faculty members.
Faculty members work with students on an individual basis, providing them with counseling, research suggestions and
other assistance. They are determined to develop and maintain an academically nurturing relationship with each student
in the program.

Employment opportunities are available to students with a major in Sociology and a minor in Criminal Justice, Business
Administration, or Gerontology. Courses have been designed to allow students to acquire skills for careers in the criminal
justice system or in agencies working with youth, the elderly, and families.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND SOCIOLOGY INTERNSHIPS
Internships provide opportunities for students to obtain practical training off campus. Students should work out details
for obtaining placement with their academic advisor.
Internships will be recommended only for students who have achieved at least junior status and have an overall grade
point average of at least 2.5. The maximum number of credit hours a student may earn for an internship is 8, during two
separate semesters. However, for Sociology students, no more than 4 credit hours may be used to fulfill the
requirement for the major. For each credit hour earned, the student is expected to spend approximately 3 hours per
week on the internship site. Criteria such as student attitude, ability to work with others, classification, and the
minimum GPA will be used to select the most qualified students. Students should apply for an internship the semester
prior to taking this course.

JOHN W. GARLAND COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE
Dr. Morakinyo Kuti, Interim Dean
The College is home of the 1890 Land-Grant mission of the University and offers 10 programs in the Science, Technology,
Engineering, Agriculture and Mathematics (STEAM) areas. In addition, by offering courses to support the General
Education program, the College provides students with a broad foundation in modern computer literacy, sciences and
mathematics. The guiding principle of the mathematics and science components of General Education is that each
person who graduates from college should possess the ability to understand the impact of science on life in general,
especially the guardianship of environment and natural resources for a sustainable future. The General Education
curriculum offered by the College of Science and Engineering is unique with the inclusion of courses on water resources
and natural disasters.
The College comprises four departments – Agricultural and Life Sciences, Manufacturing Engineering, Mathematics and
Computer Science, and Water Resources Management. Undergraduate degree offerings include Biology, Chemistry,
Environmental Engineering, Industrial Technology, Manufacturing Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science,
Sustainable Agriculture, Exercise Science and Water Resources Management. The College also includes two centers: the
Center for Excellence in Emerging Technologies (CEET), designated by the State of Ohio and the Center for International
Water Resources Management. In addition to the major programs in the STEAM areas, the College also offers minors in
Biology, Chemistry, Computational Science, Environmental Science and Nuclear Engineering. The College offers
numerous opportunities for students for scholarships and internships during the years of matriculation and facilitates
graduate school placement for students aspiring further education in their respective fields. The College has numerous
articulations with community colleges in Ohio for students with Associate Degrees in the STEAM areas to pursue a 4-
year degree at CSU in selected fields.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Freshmen students are admitted to the John W. Garland College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture by
declaring an intention to major in one of the 11 programs in the STEAM areas. Students transferring from other
institutions or transitioning from community colleges may be admitted to their program of choice in any of the
departments after conferring with the appropriate chair.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students in the John W. Garland College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture are required to confer with
an assigned faculty advisor within their major, or their Center for Academic Success professional advisor on a regular
basis. Beyond this advisement, students are personally responsible not only for selecting their academic programs, but
also for adhering to all published regulations and requirements of the University. Students are expected to seek regular
academic advisement and ultimately are individually responsible for completing all degree requirements.
During the semester immediately prior to the year in which a student expects to graduate, students must confer both
with their advisor and the chair of the major department for a final degree checkout and preparation of an application
for graduation. Completed graduation applications are due in the College Dean’s office prior to the end of the first
semester of the year in which a student expects to graduate in accordance to the University Academic Calendar.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
Students who transfer from other colleges of the University and from other accredited colleges and universities must
meet with the department chairperson to review and determine the acceptability of transfer credits to the intended
degree program. The chairperson may decline to accept the transfer credit for any course which does not meet an
170
approved course description or for which the grade is lower than a “C” or which does not meet the University General
Education Requirements.
Students who have completed the Transfer Module at another school will automatically receive credit for Central State’s
Transfer Module. Such students will, COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE 142,
however, be required to meet some additional General Education Requirements not included in the Transfer Module.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The General Education Program, a common curriculum is central to the University’s mission of providing students with a
liberal arts background. The science and or mathematics requirements of the General Education Program may overlap
with the requirements within respective majors in the College and may automatically count towards those
requirements. Mathematic requirements for some majors in the college do not include College Algebra and the lowest
mathematics course taken will automatically count towards the General Education Mathematics requirement. Students
are expected to familiarize themselves with the General Education Requirements through their departmental advisors.
The remaining hours that must be taken to earn a minimum of 120-128 semester hours come from the departmental
major requirements and student’s choice of free electives. However, majors in the College are urged to choose, with an
advisor, courses that provide the student with a second field of interest or a strong minor concentration. Minimum
graduation requirements include:
• Completion of at least 124 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.00. Some departments or programs
may require additional hours and a higher grade point average,
• Completion of at least 30 semester hours in a major field. Some departments may require additional hours,
• Completion of the University General Education Requirements.
PREPARATION FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONS
Many students enter college with the intent to pursue a career in a health care field, such as dentistry, medicine,
nursing, optometry, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. All of these careers require entrance exams and additional
professional education, not specific undergraduate majors. Since these are popular career paths, admission to
professional schools are very competitive. In order to have a good chance of getting into a professional school, a student
will need to complete all prerequisite courses in a timely fashion and with good grades. The average student admitted to
a medical school has an undergraduate GPA of about 3.5 or better and a score of approximately 510 on the MCAT exam.
In addition, many schools will be looking for evidence of commitment to a health care career through volunteer work in
hospitals, nursing homes, or animal shelters. Other programs may place emphasis on extracurricular activities.
Medical school admission prerequisites are fairly uniform. Most schools specify one year of each of the following topics
(The corresponding CSU courses are listed in parentheses):
1. Biology (BIO 1801, BIO 1802)
2. English (ENG 1101, ENG 1102)
3. General Chemistry (CHM 1201, CHM 1202)
4. Organic Chemistry (CHM 2401, CHM 2402)
5. Mathematics (MTH 2502, MTH 2503)
6. Physics (PHY 2411, PHY 2412)
Some schools also ask for courses in quantitative analysis, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, and/or genetics.
Courses in psychology are also useful. Since most or all of these courses would be part of a biology or chemistry major,
many students gain admission to medical schools through those two majors; however, some medical schools have a
policy favoring other majors in order to get more diversity in their student body. Requirements for dental, optometry,
171
pharmacy, or veterinary schools are similar to those for medical schools. Students are urged to consult the websites of
any schools of interest to see what those schools request.
Medical schools also require that applicants take the MCAT exam. (Similar exams are used by dental, optometry,
pharmacy and veterinary schools.) A student who plans to enter medical school in the fall immediately after graduation
would normally take the MCAT in April of the junior year. Since the MCAT is based on the prerequisite courses listed
above, a student should try to complete as many as possible before that time.
The specific sequence of courses a student should take will depend on the student’s choice of major and the results of
placement exams. The student should work closely with his or her major advisor on scheduling, but regardless of major,
a student who wishes to go to medical school needs to complete the admission prerequisite courses by the end of the
junior year. Some of these courses need to be done in sequence, so planning is needed. The sequence below is
suggested. In addition to the courses listed, a student would need to take courses to meet the General Education and
major requirements.
Freshman year: ENG 1101, ENG 1102; BIO 1801, 1802; CHM 1201, CHM 1202; MTH 2502, MTH 2503 (ACT/SAT scores
may indicate additional coursework is required ahead of listed courses)
Sophomore year: CHM 2401, CHM 2402; PHY 2411, PHY 2412 (move to junior year if math is not completed)
Junior year: CHM 4300; PSY 1200, PSY 2220 (recommended General Education courses)
Each of the health care professions has an association of its professional schools. These associations have websites that
will also provide useful information.

Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science degree may also pursue further professional and graduate level opportunities
through additional coursework or credentialing such as: Exercise Physiology, Physical Therapy, Biomechanics, Physician’s
Assistant, Occupational Therapy, Respiratory Therapist, Medical School, Sport Psychology, Nutrition-Registered Dietitian,
Nursing, and jobs in the public health sector. Students interested in Physical Therapy or Medicine should review the
suggested academic requirements for Preprofessional Health under the department description and consult with a pre-
health advisor.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Central State University had an agriculture program from its inception up through 1960. The coursework for this major
provides a nod to the past and the future with a strong science base and coursework to reflect modern cutting edge
research into conservation practices that maximize profitability while sustaining the environment. The Bachelor of
Science degree in Sustainable Agriculture is an interdisciplinary major that overlaps coursework in Agribusiness, Biology,
Chemistry, Geography, Physics, Manufacturing Engineering, and Water Resources Management. The department
maintains a program of related paid and unpaid undergraduate research experiences that emphasize sustainable
agricultural practices in practical applications of classroom theory and enhances their skills for generating new
knowledge. Graduates of the Sustainable Agriculture program are in great demand in farming, industry and government
Pre-Medical, Pharmacy, Forensic Sciences, Physical Therapy and Veterinary Science Professionals
Programs in the Department of Agricultural and Life Sciences may prepare students for post-baccalaureate study in
medicine, veterinary science, dentistry, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, and forensic science. Students
interested in these professions should consult their academic advisor for a list of recommended prerequisite courses
required prior to matriculation into these professional post-baccalaureate programs. Partnerships and articulation
agreements between Central State University, Northeast Ohio Medical University, Cleveland State University and
University of Cincinnati are in place to help students to be admitted to medical, pharmacy and graduate programs.
Qualified students may be eligible for financial assistance upon acceptance into these professional and graduate
programs.
Many students enter college with the intent to pursue a career in a health care field, such as dentistry, medicine,
nursing, optometry, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. All of these careers are the result of professional graduate
programs, not specific undergraduate majors. Since these are popular career paths, admission to professional schools
are very competitive. In order to have a good chance of getting into a professional school, a student will need to
complete all prerequisite courses in a timely fashion and with good grades. The average student admitted to a medical
school has an undergraduate GPA of about 3.5 and a score of 810 in each part of the MCAT exam. In addition, many
schools will be looking for evidence of commitment to a health care career through volunteer work in hospitals, nursing
homes, or animal shelters. Other programs may place emphasis on extracurricular activities.
Health professional school admission prerequisites are fairly uniform. Most schools specify one year of each of the
following topics (The corresponding CSU courses are listed in parentheses): Biology (BIO 1801, BIO 1802); English (ENG
174
1101, ENG 1102); General Chemistry (CHM 1201, CHM 1202); Organic Chemistry (CHM 2401, CHM 2402); Mathematics
(MTH 2501 or MTH 2503); and Physics (PHY 2411, PHY 2412 or PHY 2611, 2612).

BIOLOGY DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
A total of 120 semester hours are required for the B.S. degree in Biology.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS (37-38 hours); see University General Education Requirements. Science and
mathematics requirements are included in the major requirements.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Biology offers curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Science in Biology, and a minor in Biology. Biology majors must
take a minimum of 46 hours of biology, 20 hours of chemistry, 10 hours of physics, and 9 hours of mathematics. A
minimum requirement of 16 hours of biology courses is needed for a minor in biology. Required courses for all degrees
175
are listed under degree requirements. BIOLOGY PRE-MAJOR – All students entering the biology program start with the
designation of “prebiology.” Students wishing to become biology majors must first successfully complete the following
courses: BIO 1801, ENG 1102, MTH 2500, 2501or 2502; CHM1201; and USS1000. Note that all these courses have pre-
requisites. BIO 1705 and CHM 1050 are required for all students entering with an ACT score of 23 or less in Science (or
its equivalent) BEFORE taking BIO 1801 and CHM 1201, respectively. Mathematics pre-requisites may include MTH 1705.
A high placement score in mathematics may allow a student to enter MTH 2500, 2501 or 2502 directly. After pre-major
coursework is completed, students can apply for formal acceptance into the program. The application package includes
an application form, a statement of interest, future goals, basic information about the student, an unofficial transcript,
and a check sheet. The biology faculty will meet to review candidates, and a permanent major advisor will be assigned.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN BIOLOGY
A total of 120 credit hours is required for the B.S. major in Biology GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS (36 hours); see
University General Education Requirements (Marauder Lifestyle). PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS: All biology majors must
complete the following major requirements: BIO 1801, BIO 1802, BIO 2100, BIO 2400, BIO 2650, BIO 2750, BIO 2850, BIO
3500, BIO 4100, BIO 4350 and BIO 4500. Required electives include 9 credit hours, a minimum of which must come from
3000-level and 4000-level courses from the following list: BIO 2000, BIO 2050, BIO 2900, BIO 2350, BIO 3050, BIO3070,
BIO 3090, BIO 3150, BIO 3550, BIO 3660, BIO 4300, BIO 4350, BIO 4400, and BIO 4600 or CHM 4300. Equivalent BIO 1705

DEPARTMENT OF MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Department of Manufacturing Engineering, composed of the Manufacturing Engineering Program (MFE) and the
Industrial Technology Program (INT), carries on the University’s historic tradition of providing relevant technical
education to under-served populations with diverse backgrounds and educational needs. To uphold this rich heritage,
the Department offers two baccalaureate degree programs: the B.S. degree in Manufacturing Engineering and the B.S.
degree in Industrial Technology. These two programs share faculty, staff, and facilities. However, though both prepare
students for technical careers in industry and business, they otherwise offer separate degrees with distinct curricula.
The Department draws strong guidance and support from an active Industrial Advisory Committee comprised of
engineers and executives from diverse manufacturing companies and technical organizations. This industrial support
provides for program enhancement and ensures program relevance in preparing students for technical careers. In
addition, the Department maintains a program of related research that engages students in practical applications of
classroom theory and enhances their skills for generating new knowledge.
Spacious, well-equipped laboratories with modern machinery, computer hardware and software are available to support
the teaching and research activities of the Department. To provide special opportunities for students to develop
technical leadership and teaming skills, the Department promotes active student chapters of the Society of
Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). Both engineering and technology
majors must fulfill the University General Education requirements. During the Spring semester of the senior year,
Manufacturing Engineering majors are also encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination, which is
the initial step in attaining professional engineering licensure.
Each engineering or technology major receives academic advising by a member of the Manufacturing Engineering
Department faculty. Nevertheless, students are responsible for knowing and complying with all published schedules and
graduation requirements.
MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING PROGRAM
General Information Graduates of the Manufacturing Engineering program are in great demand from prestigious firms
and government agencies.
TRENDS IN MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing is one of the major wealth producing sectors of the world economic structure with a direct and powerful
impact on the quality of life of each individual. The field of manufacturing has undergone dramatic changes during the
past decade. Diverse forces driving these changes include the following factors: rapid technological advances in areas
such as computers, lasers, machine vision, robotics and automation; emerging new materials including polymers,
composites and ceramics; an increasing global economy with intensified international trade competition; changing
national defense and security priorities; changing labor management relationships; dwindling natural resources;
increasing energy costs; bio-socio-educational factors impacting educational access and delivery and heightened
environmental concerns. These factors continue to produce new demands and exciting opportunities for manufacturing
engineers. Graduates of the program have found diverse employment in manufacturing fields such as automotive,
aerospace, electronics, defense, food processing, and consumer product industries. Others have earned related
graduate degrees at some of the nation’s finest graduate engineering schools prior to assuming industry positions.
184
MFE PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)
The Manufacturing Engineering Department at Central State University is dedicated to preparing students for
manufacturing engineering careers in diverse manufacturing enterprises. The MFE Program expects the graduates
within few years of graduation to attain the following objectives:
1. Have productive careers.
2. Embrace leadership opportunities, promote diversity, and communicate effectively.
3. Pursue professional development and continuing education.
4. Adhere to the Engineer’s code of conduct and ethics.
5. Positively contribute to the university, local communities, and global societies.
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Manufacturing Engineering has been designed to address these objectives.
The curriculum follows guidelines established by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), an international
organization headquartered in Southfield, Michigan with over 30,000 members in seventy-two (72) countries. SME seeks
to ensure that Manufacturing Engineering programs produce engineers prepared to address industry demands for
increasingly sophisticated manufacturing technology, and ready to play an important role in planning, building, and
optimizing the “factories of the future.” Emphasis is, therefore, given to computer-aided design and manufacturing
(CAD/CAM), layered manufacturing or 3-D printing, microprocessor control, manufacturing planning and control, quality
and reliability assurance, metrology and the processing and utilization of engineering materials. The program provides
opportunities for hands-on experience in the application of the knowledge embodied in these disciplines. The BS degree
program in Manufacturing Engineering is one of only a few programs in the nation which are dedicated to
undergraduate manufacturing engineering education, and which are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET).
The overarching goal of the program is to produce graduates who are well prepared to:
• Contribute to the engineering planning and management of a relatively large, modern manufacturing operation.
• Introduce modern manufacturing methods and design technologies into a small manufacturing operation or
assist in the start-up of a new manufacturing enterprise.
• Maintain a process of life-long learning to retain technical competence, including earning graduate degrees in
engineering or related business management or other professional studies and obtaining relevant professional
certification.
The overall Manufacturing Engineering curriculum consists of strong components of mathematics, basic sciences,
engineering sciences, humanities, and social sciences, together with the engineering major requirements which can be
grouped into the following topic areas:
Materials and Manufacturing Processes — the structure and property relationships of materials and its change with
materials processing.
Process, Assembly, and Product Engineering — the design of products and the equipment, tooling and environment
necessary for their manufacture supported by rapid prototyping and 3-D layered manufacturing.
Manufacturing Competitiveness — the creation of competitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy,
and control. Topics such as productivity, quality, reliability, economic and cost analysis, human resources, product safety
and liability, social concerns, international issues, environmental impact, and product life cycle are included in this area.
Manufacturing Systems Design — the analysis, synthesis and control of manufacturing operations emphasizing modern
technologies and tooling and statistical and calculus-based methods.
185
Simulation and Information Technology — Simulation, modeling, control, architecture, and information systems
supported by experimental design for factory optimality control are included in this area.
Laboratory Experience - Measuring manufacturing process variables in a manufacturing laboratory and making technical
inferences about the process. Throughout the curriculum major emphasis is given to the engineering design function.
The Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET) has
published the following description for engineering design:
Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-
making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences and mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to
convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the
establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing and evaluation. The engineering design
component of a curriculum must include most of the following features: development of student creativity, use of open-
ended problems, development and use of modern design theory and methodology, formulation of design problem
statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations, production processes,
concurrent engineering design, and detailed system descriptions. Further, it is essential to include a variety of realistic
constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact.”
In the senior year, the design experience culminated with a sequenced two-semester “capstone” design project.
Students work on individual or team design projects under close faculty supervision. A broad range of resources
including machine tools, materials testing and processing equipment, electronic and measuring instrumentation,
computers and control devices are available to prepare students for the real-world challenges of the engineering
profession. Oral and written communication skills are emphasized in the senior design project.
MFE STUDENT OUTCOME (SO) The broad educational experience outlined above is designed to integrate the knowledge,
skills, attitudes, and values acquired in a diverse set of courses to produce graduates with the following specific student
outcomes:
• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering,
science, and mathematics
• an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of
public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed

MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:
The majority of the MFE courses emphasize design, the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet
some desired need. The design course work provides experience in open-ended problem solving by combining decision
186
making and creative thought with basic and engineering sciences. The design experience is incorporated across a variety
of subject areas and increases in amount and complexity. In addition, the MFE Program is addressing the desired
outcomes defined by the Society for Manufacturing Engineers (SME). It had put in place the mechanisms to ensure that
by the time of graduation, the graduating seniors do possess:
• Proficiency in materials and manufacturing processes: understanding the behavior and properties of materials as
they are altered and influenced by processing in manufacturing.
• Proficiency in process, assembly, and product engineering: understanding the design of products and the
equipment, tooling and environment necessary for their manufacture.
• Proficiency in manufacturing competitiveness: understanding the creation of competitive advantage through
manufacturing planning, strategy, and control.
• Proficiency in manufacturing systems design: understanding the analysis, synthesis and control of manufacturing
operations using statistical and calculus-based methods, simulation, and information technology.
• Proficiency in laboratory practices: graduates must be able to measure manufacturing process variables in a
manufacturing laboratory and make technical inferences about the process.

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
GENERAL INFORMATION
Industrial technology is a field of study designed to prepare technical and/or management-oriented professionals for
employment in business, industry, education, and government. Industrial technology is primarily involved with the
management, operation, and maintenance of complex technological systems, while engineering and engineering
technology are primarily involved with the design and installation of these systems.
TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY
The pervasive use of technology on a global scale has created a demand for management-oriented technical
professionals with an understanding of fundamental technical principles and the practical skills required to apply those
principles in the laboratory, manufacturing shop floor, and business office. These individuals must also understand the
basic economic and business principles, which guide business and technology. The BS degree program in Industrial
Technology has been designed to fulfill these requirements. Graduates of the program find diverse employment
opportunities as production supervisors, information technology technicians, or as industrial sales, marketing, or
management profession.
INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM OBJECTIVES
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Industrial Technology addresses the need for technical professionals with
specialized technical training. To achieve in-depth training in a selected discipline, students can choose from one of two
concentrations: Computer Technology and Manufacturing Management. The selection of the concentration is normally
based upon individual student interests, skills and career goals with input and guidance by a faculty advisor. The
technology core of the curriculum builds upon a foundation of trigonometry and includes components of metals
technology and machining principles, occupational safety and health, computer numerical-controlled (CNC) machining,
computer aided-design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM); electrical circuits, digital electronics,
microprocessors, programmable logic controllers (PLC), and statistical analysis. Throughout the program, a heavy
emphasis is placed upon hands-on laboratory experience and practical applications of the theory gained in the
classroom lecture sessions.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION EXPERIENCES
A student majoring in Industrial Technology may participate in the Cooperative Education program. All Industrial
Technology majors are encouraged to take part in the Cooperative Education Program, which offers students an
opportunity to integrate classroom theory with planned periods of practical “real world” work assignments. Each
student may spend one to two semesters of his/her academic program working in an approved position. A total of 24
credit hours can be applied towards graduation and is included in the student’s transcript under “Earned Hours.”
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
A total of 120 semester hours are required for the BS degree in Industrial Technology with a concentration in
Manufacturing Management or Computer Technology.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS (Min 39-40 hours)
Nine (9) of the total forty-one (41) credits apply also to the industrial technology (INT) program requirements; see
University General Education Requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE
The Department of Military Science is a cooperative venture between the United States Army and Central State
University and Cedarville University. The program provides a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program to full-time
students on an optional basis. Satisfactory completion of the program may lead to a minor in Military Science, and a
commission as an officer in the United States Army.
The program provides students an opportunity to practice leadership skills necessary in society. The emphasis of the
program is on leadership development. Students are challenged to apply accepted leadership theory to practical
situations. A theoretical basis of knowledge is developed through attendance in Military Science classes and courses
offered in colleges throughout the University.
Army ROTC is a college elective that students can try out for up to two years with no obligation. Unlike traditional
college programs, Army ROTC gives you a wide range of experiences while you work toward a degree. You will combine
classroom time with handson experience, learning skills that are sure to give you an edge over your peers when it comes
time to look for a job. ROTC provides students with opportunities to attend demanding active military courses such as:
Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency, Basic Airborne Course, Air Assault School, Combat Diver Qualification
Course, Combat Survival Training, and Mountain Warfare Training. By offering such demanding training, ROTC provides
students with the ability to test the limits of their mental and physical stamina.
Whether you are planning a career in the Army or the corporate world, Army ROTC is a smart elective course to take. As
part of Army ROTC, you will be in the company of a diverse group of individuals with broad interests — those who were
presidents of their student governments, captains of their varsity sports teams, club presidents, or members of the
National Honor Society. Your studies will include Leadership Development, Military Skills, and Adventure Training.
First and foremost, an Army officer is a leader. The officer plans the work of the organization, assigns tasks to others and
sees that the work is accomplished to the highest standard. In that regard, an Army officer is similar to a manager in a
corporation. But that is where any comparison to the corporate world ends. Even the most junior officer routinely has
40 or more soldiers working directly under his or her control. In the corporate world it could take decades for an
individual to achieve that level of responsibility. Officers do not just issue orders and disappear into the background.
They lead by example. An officer must be willing to personally undertake any task that is assigned to a Soldier. The level
of integrity and personal conduct required of an officer is quite high — with very good reasons. Officers daily make
decisions that involve millions of dollars of resources. Their judgment and skill can mean the difference between life and
death for the Soldiers they command. Over the years, three words have become the hallmark of what it is to be an Army
Officer. Those three words are Duty, Honor and Country. No matter what their specific duties are, or where they serve,
these three words embody what it is to be an Army officer.
We are a people-oriented organization. Consequently, leadership and management skills are essential in our training
program. ROTC provides you with the opportunity to become a college-educated leader and manager. You will be
employed when you graduate — employed in an organization that offers competitive medical, dental, housing and
retirement benefits. Let’s say you decide to move on after a few years and pursue another profession. When you join
your friends in the civilian world you will have no problem grasping what they are doing and you will have far greater
depth and breadth of experience.
They will admire, even envy your exposure, work and travel experience. Trust us, whatever you decide, the experience
you will gain will give you the confidence you need to be a success in college and beyond. You will have the edge
because employers respect officership — Believe it!
TO HELP YOU FINANCE YOUR COLLEGE YEARS, ARMY ROTC awards scholarships. Army ROTC scholarships pay tuition and
required fees, and can be worth as much as $120,000 or more. They are awarded on merit — like academic
195
achievements, extracurricular activities, and personal interviews. Scholarship winners receive a stipend ($300 freshman,
$350 sophomore, $450 junior, $500 senior) for each academic month plus an allowance for books and other educational
items. Contracted Cadets earn a stipend. If you are a non-scholarship student, you can still receive the stipend as a
contracted cadet during your last two years. If you are selected to receive a scholarship, you will have a commitment to
the Army after completing the program. You can fulfill it by either serving part time in the Army National Guard or Army
Reserve, or compete for full time service on active duty. The U.S. Army is one of the most culturally diverse
organizations in the nation, and Army ROTC is committed to drawing a diverse group of individuals with a broad range of
interests. As part of this commitment, Army ROTC offers a limited number of scholarships specifically to those
individuals who desire to attend a Historically Black College/University (HBCU).

DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The Department of Water Resources Management offers programs in Environmental Engineering (ENE) and Water
Resources Management (WRM). In addition to its primary role of offering baccalaureate programs, the department also
offers continuing education opportunities for practicing professionals in the field of water resources management and
environmental engineering. The department engages in research and in outreach activities to attract high school
students to pursue higher education in these fields.
The programs in the department lead to Bachelor of Science degrees in Environmental Engineering and Water Resources
Management. They are structured to provide students with the knowledge of diverse aspects of these interdisciplinary
fields. An internship is a requirement in environmental engineering and water resources management.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRAMS IN THE DEPARTMENT The University General Education
Requirements apply to the majors in the Department (please refer to the General Education Requirements in the
University Course catalog). Students in WRM and ENE automatically fulfill the natural science requirements under
general education by taking their major requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING (ENE) PROGRAM –MISSIONS, GOALS, AND PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES The
Bachelor of Science degree program in Environmental Engineering is dedicated to undergraduate environmental
engineering education and is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET), http://www.abet.org .
The overarching mission of the program is to prepare engineers who specialize in the field of environmental systems at
the baccalaureate level, and who understand how to apply engineering principles to solve environmental problems and
harness energy while maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem. ENE Program identified five specific program
educational objectives (PEOs) to address the local, state, and national opportunities and needs. The ENE program
expects the graduates within a few years of graduation to attain the following:
1. Be employed as practicing engineers in environmental engineering or related fields (civil, chemical, ecological, or
agriculture) and satisfy and exceed employers’ expectations;
2. Develop professionally through the attainment of licensure, or through enrolling in or completing advanced
studies in engineering or engineering management;
3. Attain progressive management or leadership positions through professionalism and adherence to engineering
code, ethics, and responsibilities;
4. Contribute to the sustainable development of civil, process, and industrial infrastructures through natural
resource conservation, environmental preservation and protection, and economic and environmental
stewardship;
5. Make a positive impact on the environment, public health, and wellness of global society.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM
The curriculum relies on a strong foundation in sciences and mathematics by requiring students to take courses in
rigorous college physics (calculus-based), chemistry and mathematics to advanced levels of differential equations and
linear algebra. The program also promotes holistic development of students through courses in humanities, and in social
and behavioral sciences as required in the general education curriculum.
Students take general engineering courses such as Engineering Computer Graphics, Statics, Dynamics, Strength of
Materials and other courses from the manufacturing engineering department (MFE). With this set of basic science and
engineering courses, the program then provides background in Applied Hydraulics, Wastewater Treatment Systems,
Municipal and Hazardous Waste Management, Air Quality Engineering and other engineering-based courses. There is an
197
internship requirement and students engage in a capstone project during the final year. The Mc Lin Center, which
houses the WRM Department, has excellent laboratory equipment in the areas of hydraulics, hydrology, water quality,
and soils that is essential for the study of environmental engineering.
The department has faculty with expertise in the areas of air quality engineering, hydraulics, hydrology, environmental
engineering, water quality, water policy and economics, geography and geology. The uniqueness of the Environmental
Engineering (ENE) program at CSU is the availability of interdisciplinary courses within the Water Resources
Management (WRM). These courses cover important issues in water, such as policy, socio-economic impact,
environmental regulations, Remote Sensing and GIS. The program directly serves the university’s land-grant mission by
preparing students towards careers in civil engineering and hydrology in Agriculture in both public and private sectors.
The WRM department has a transfer articulation agreement with Sinclair Community College (SCC) for students to
transfer to CSU ENE program at the junior standing after receiving an Associate of Science (A.S.) Degree at SCC. WRM
received university approvals to offer a certificate course in Water Resources Management for the Oil and Gas Industry.
The certificate is available for WRM and ENE majors.

competencies to hydraulic and environmental engineering students. Details are provided below as part of the
degree requirements.
WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT (WRM) PROGRAM
The Bachelor of Science in Water Resources Management, a program that was one of the first of its kind in the nation,
educates students in the interrelationships of the technical, social, political and economic aspects of the field. The
objective of the program is to provide students with educational skills and background necessary for the positions in
water resources management in private industry, government, and nongovernmental organizations. The program
directly serves the university’s land-grant mission by preparing students towards careers in water related fields in
Agriculture such as soil and water conservation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Water resources management
is intertwined with the environmental field and the curriculum offers courses that enable students to gain background in
this field as well.
As the population expands and pressure on development increases, the need for water resources management
professionals is felt at the state, national and international levels. The program responds to the critical need for water
resources professionals who have an understanding of all phases of water resources management within agriculture and
municipal sectors. These professionals help to identify the most effective solutions to water resources management
198
problems, involving both technical and non-technical aspects. The curriculum emphasizes environmental subjects such
as soil and water conservation, water chemistry, and streams and lakes. Many graduates of the program have
progressed further by obtaining graduate degrees in specialized fields such as public works management and water
