Prospective Students

The Right School. The Right Choice.

You've decided to take that next step in your business education. Now how do you choose the right college for carrying out that commitment? Think about what you want to be able to do once you receive your business degree:

• Advance your career in today's global marketplace
• Open doors with the connections you've made
• Know you received the best possible value for your investment

And before you decide on the right place for your degree, you will want to be sure you can:

• Get credit for courses you have completed at other colleges and universities
• Choose from flexible course scheduling close to work or home
• Enjoy a true campus experience with students who share your interests and your passion

A degree from the Monte Ahuja College of Business at Cleveland State University can do all of the above and more. We care about our students and the ever-changing marketplace conditions they face - because we live it every day by carrying out the spirit of engaged learning that CSU fosters.
