Congratulations! Your quest for knowledge and the pursuit of higher education have led you here, to this pivotal moment. By seeking more information about our Youngstown State, you’ve taken the first step on a remarkable journey that will shape your future in profound ways.

We would now like to invite you to dive deeper into our University and see for yourself why over 11,000 students call our campus home. 

Knowledge is
Power.

Youngstown State University offers the best of every possible world. We’re proud to say our students have many traits in common: determination, ambition and an eagerness to leap, not step, forward in all aspects of life. The launch of Youngstown State University’s new branding is intentionally designed to get people talking and asking questions to learn more about the University we love so much. The branding is composed of a calculatedly chosen statement “Know” and “Y.” While it may be made up of only a few letters, Know Y quite easily does a lot of heavy lifting.

Not just a university

The best tuition value; a fresh, renovated campus; a tight community of committed, caring faculty; great athletics, and values rooted in the cradle of American Enterprise.

Youngstown State University is strongly rooted in the Mahoning Valley for more than 114 years

Its graduates have helped build and staff the factories, businesses, hospitals, educational institutions and political leadership of this region and beyond.
