Youngstown State University is worth looking into, especially for those who live near the state line.

This comprehensive urban research university offers its 14,500 plus students more than 135 undergraduate and graduate programs, all on one campus. Fully accredited, YSU is known for its focus on research and creative programs that transform its students into successful professionals.

YSU offers undergraduates opportunities for advanced research-opportunities that at most universities are reserved for graduate students.

Faculty at Youngstown State are deeply committed to the success of their students. Mostly small classes — over 75 percent of undergraduate classes have fewer than 30 students — encourage faculty and student discussion, and professors are available for questions, consultation, and mentoring during regular office hours, which they keep.

The scenic YSU campus includes high-tech classrooms, state-of-the-art labs and performance facilities, a variety of housing options, and recreational facilities.

Campus life is enhanced by NCAA Division One varsity athletics, and a wide range of student organizations.

Residents of Pennsylvania counties along the state line enjoy a significant reduction in out-of-state tuition that puts a top-quality YSU education well within reach.

Modern on-campus housing makes Youngstown State an attractive choice for Western Pennsylvania students who want the resident experience, but closer to home.

Stop in and talk to our people at the Pittsburgh College Fair. And make plans to come to campus for a visit. You’ll be impressed.
