Central State University: A Legacy of Education and Opportunity
Central State University stands as Ohio's only public Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and 1890 Land-Grant Institution. For over 135 years, the university has been dedicated to enriching minds and transforming lives, with a constant focus on the future. Central State enhances opportunities for all, cultivating future leaders in diverse fields such as humanities, arts, social sciences, education, and business. Through innovative degree programs, bold research initiatives, and a comprehensive extension program guided by its Land-Grant mission, the university is also committed to diversifying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) industries.
A Rich History and Enduring Mission
The roots of higher education in the region run deep. Central State University's school colors, maroon and gold, and mascot provide rich imagery. The university's commitment to education is enshrined in its Statement of Commitment, as required by Ohio Revised Code section 3345.0216, which expressly pledges to educate students through free, open, and rigorous intellectual inquiry to seek the truth. It is the university's duty to equip students with the opportunity to develop the intellectual skills they need to reach their own, informed conclusions. Central State University declares its commitment to not requiring, favoring, disfavoring, or prohibiting speech or lawful assembly. The university is committed to creating a community dedicated to an ethic of civil and free inquiry, which respects the autonomy of each member, supports individual capacities for growth, and tolerates the differences in opinion that naturally occur in a public higher education community.
Academic Programs and Opportunities
Central State University offers a wide array of academic programs designed to prepare students for success in various fields.
History Program
The History Program offers survey courses in world and American history, and various specialized courses in American, European, and non-Western history. History majors lay the foundation for their work by taking world and American history survey courses. Later courses include African, American, Asian, European, Latin American, and Middle Eastern history. History faculty also offer several thematic courses that cross these regional boundaries. Upper-class students often complete an independent study under the guidance of a professor. In addition to mentored research with faculty, history majors will have the opportunity to take European history on site while participating in Centre’s semester study-abroad programs in Strasbourg, France, and London, England. As a history major, you will explore the complexities of human experience across time and cultures while developing valuable skills you will rely on throughout your professional career. While learning to think critically, analyze sources, and assess multiple perspectives, you will grow a robust understanding of the interconnected forces that shaped societies, economies, and ideas throughout the past and into the future. Armed with a contextual understanding that social change is inevitable, you will be uniquely able to connect past events to contemporary issues, helping you make informed decisions in an ever-changing world. The skills you will build in research, writing, and problem-solving are highly valued in diverse careers like law, journalism, public policy, education, and business.
