Central State University

Wilberforce, Ohio

Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, is one of the nation's oldest historically black universities, with a 120-year legacy of academic and athletic achievements. The College of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Business and Industry, which includes the Departments of Manufacturing Engineering and Water Resources Management, form the core of the University’s varied academic offerings.

The CSU Institute for Urban Education (IUE) builds on Central State’s roots as a center of excellence for teacher education. It also reflects the College of Education’s emphasis on preparing teachers for work in today’s urban classrooms. Housed in the newly constructed Center for Education and Natural Sciences, the IUE serves as a national resource center for the training of urban teachers and the exchange of scholarship on urban education issues. A newly developed program in environmental engineering builds on CSU’s signature Water Resources Management Program, and a new major in criminal justice will further expand career opportunities for Central State University students.

A centrally located branch campus in Dayton, Ohio, CSU-Dayton, offers a range of courses and class schedules that serve the needs of nontraditional learners wishing to complete their undergraduate degrees, pursue master’s degrees in education, or take advantage of professional development opportunities.

Central State is home to the nationally renowned Central State University Chorus, which has twice been nominated for a Grammy. The Lady Marauders basketball team is perennially in the national rankings and has traveled to 12 straight NAIA national tournaments. The track and field team as well as the cheerleading and dance troupes have also won championships and awards, and the Central State marching band, the Invincible Marching Marauders, have twice performed at the national Honda Battle of the Bands and been featured in the 2006 film Dave Chappelle’s Block Party. With the return of football to Central State in 2005, the Mighty Marauders are reviving a legacy that produced several national championships. Central State’s impending move to NCAA Division II will widen the University’s competitive field and provide more exposure for Central State University’s student athletes.

CSU is Ohio’s only predominately African American public institution of higher education, but it is, and has always been, “open to all persons of good moral character,” as ordained by the 1887 legislation that created Central State's predecessor. The University actively promotes diversity in its student body, faculty and staff, even as the institution adheres to its core historical responsibility to educate young African American men and women.

8. Once you’ve narrowed down your search based on these things, contact the Career Office or your Guide Counselor or Admissions Counselor for more information

9. Go back to Academic Services or Career Development to share your information and be determined to make a decision.

12 Ways Adult Students Can Pay for College:

1. Maximize your federal aid eligibility by reducing assets and paying down consumer debt.

2. Submit the *FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1st. You don't have to wait until you are admitted to a program to apply! This application also serves as the application for the *Workforce Improvement Grant, a scholarship awarded to adult students based on financial need.

3. Research and apply for scholarships early. Scholarship deadlines can occur as early as six months prior to the semester for which they are intended!

4. Utilize community programs that offer assistance with childcare, rent, utilities, food, clothing, fuel, prescription medicines, and medical or dental care. This allows you to use money for college that would normally pay for these other items.

5. Ask about fee waivers. Many colleges will reduce or waive admission application, testing, or other fees for low income students.

6. Ask about tuition payment plans. Many colleges offer tuition or deferred payment plans.

7. Accelerate your degree program by taking college level proficiency exams, such as *CLEP or *DANTES, or departmental exams. Ask about the possibility of receiving credit for paid work experience, professional licensure, certification, military service or other training.

8. If you are working toward a bachelor's degree, consider taking general education courses at a *community college where tuition is generally much lower.

9. Take advantage of distance learning opportunities in lieu of traditional campus-based classes where possible. Tuition for these classes is often much less.

10. Reduce the cost of textbooks by borrowing them from someone who has already taken your class or borrowing them from the library. If you must buy books, shop online for the best price or buy used books. At the end of each semester, sell them to other students or online instead of taking them to the bookstore.

11. Explore Tuition Assistance Programs (TAP) offered to employees of larger corporations.

12. Take advantage of federal tax benefits, such as the Hope Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit.

Deciding Which Colleges to Apply to.

Once you've done your research and gathered all the information you need, you may think you are ready to decide which colleges to apply to. Not so fast! Do you really have all the information you need to make an informed, reasonable, and heartfelt decision?

An Informed Decision

An informed decision means you have all the facts. If you are missing some detail or information, you should fill in the gaps. If the information you need isn't in the college publications you already have or available from other sources you have access to, call the appropriate department at the college. Most importantly, visit the college if you can. Make sure you have all the facts you need before you make your decision.

A Reasonable Decision

A reasonable decision means that you have considered your chances of acceptance at the colleges you're most interested in. What's more, if you do get accepted, you know you'll be able to afford it. Finally, you should be fairly confident of succeeding at the colleges personally and academically. Review each school's admissions requirements and make sure you are a solid candidate and that your qualifications match what the school is looking for.

A Heartfelt Decision

A heartfelt decision means you aren't basing your decision solely on measurable criteria, that you're also going with your intuition and instincts — that you're following your gut. You should feel good about each campus and the people there. Each school should fit your personality in important ways — and challenge you in just the right ways.

The Right Decision

Make sure you're happy with every college on your list before you apply — you know you will be attending one of them.

Although cost is certainly an important factor, don't automatically exclude colleges based on high costs alone. If you qualify academically you may very well qualify for *sufficient financial aid as well. Once you've made your final decision, go ahead and request application materials if you don't already have them. Complete your applications, concentrate on your senior year classes, and wait for the envelopes from the college admission offices with a minimum of stress. A final review of all the factors influencing your decision will boost your confidence that you are well on your way to a college that's right for you.
