Welcome from the Dean
For prospective students and their families, nothing reveals CSU's uniqueness like a visit to our campus and face to face contact with our talented faculty, staff and students.

Graduate programs are designed to provide student growth in both theory and practice.  The graduate faculty at CSU can be counted among the most qualified and successful nationally in research and publications.   Our up-to-date programs offer the latest developments in research and technology. Graduate advisors are ready to help students formulate plans of study appropriate to their interests and consistent with the guidelines of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies.

The university provides excellent resources in its newly opened academic library and the computer laboratories for advanced study in graduate and professional programs. Most courses are offered in late afternoon and evening hours for the convenience of students working during the day. Plans are well underway to develop doctoral programs in Pharmacy and in Physical Therapy. Please make plans to visit our campus to see first hand the outstanding work that CSU is undertaking.  We're in the business of transforming lives!
