KATURA, Political Science
and International Relations, B.A. '22 Public Administration, MPA '25
“Every semester, I gained something different, and it changed my interest.” Katura’s CSU story is one of self-discovery. “I developed new passions that I did not know I had which led me to declare a second major (International Relations) and pursue a different post-graduate path than I had in mind when I started at CSU.” Katura dared to change course — and it paid off. She just earned her Master of Public Administration degree at CSU, blending her passions into a powerful new career path.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION "Career Development and Exploration offered a professional development course that I feel has greatly improved my work! It has helped me build soft skills, build and refine my resume, connect with employers and so much more. Their workshops for preparing to attend graduate school have been a lifesaver in reducing my stress surrounding the application process."
Morgan
Communication Sciences and Disorders and Health Sciences, B.S. '25
ACADEMIC SUPPORT HUB "The ability to access extra forms of assistance for various educational areas can be a lifesaver and has improved my academic performance. I learned about study habits, skills and techniques. CSU fosters an extremely welcoming environment, and everyone is more than happy to assist you."
Thomas
Psychology, B.A. '25
ACADEMIC COACHING "They challenged my thoughts, assisted me with any questions and provided me with resources that helped me obtain my books, employment and a safe space to talk. I have been lucky to have such great coaches that wanted to see me get to graduation."

YOUR SUC
“At Cleveland State, I had the ability to work part time here at Rockwell as a co-op while I was still in school. It helped me see the value of what I was doing in classes and put that to practice in the field. That's something I think a lot of other colleges don't have the opportunity to do.” Caleb first met his current employer at a CSU co-op and career fair, which led to a six-month co-op placement. He was treated like a full-time engineer from day one. By the end of his rotation, he was offered a permanent position — before he had graduated. “I knew I had found what I liked. I look forward to going to work in the morning and see value in the work I'm doing.”
