Graduation Rate
Youngstown State University graduation rate is below the national average.
33% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Youngstown State University completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This indicator doesn’t take into account students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading perception. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare institutions.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Youngstown State University
Overall Rating:
Youngstown State isn't perfect, but it isn't all bad. There has been a lot of growth in the time that I've been here, and quite honestly I don't see it slowing down. Campus is quiet, clean, and it isn't too big. There are definitely some professors and part-time faculty here that aren't exactly the greatest, but there are so many wonderful professors here who truly do care. Youngstown State is changing, and if things keep going the way they've been, I see no reason why greater things aren't to come.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Overall this is a pretty good college with a wide variety of majors and minors. Facilities are updated reasonably, and so is technology in the classrooms. Most of the professors, at least from my expierence, want you to succeed and will help you anyway they can. The campus is safe, will emergency call buttons spread through the entire campus, also the police department is very good about patroling and preventing crime on campus. I rated YSU 4/5 for 2 reasons, one being the parking situation. There is parking, but the lots that are actually close to the university fill up very quickly, YSU’s increasing student population isn’t making the situation any better. University officials are supposedly working on fixing this issue somehow. Second, a couple of the professors at the university speak very very poor English, I don’t feel like that’s fair to the student who is paying to be taught a subject, only to not be able to understand the professor. Overall the university is a good choice for college, with modern facilities and caring professors.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™It need more work some employees need to be replaced because they don’t treat good or they just don’t want to don’t want to work also need cameras in parking lots because i had my car scratched and they just saying we have nothing to do so if something really serious i may even have to lose much. About employees some of them they don’t do their jobs right other than that it’s good place for education to be fair
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™YSU is such a quiet and peaceful place to go to school at. Sometimes I liked to just sit on the grass under a tree and listen to the birds and the wind as life just passed me by. The buildings are a complex maze of twists and turns that will leave your head feeling like you just entered the twilight zone, and while some students are rather rude the majority of them are extremely kind hearted. I personally feel that the school could use with a better organization system, slightly more thought out staff and faculty, but other than that it is a very amazing place to learn.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™This is a great university for certain majors and average for others. The engineering program and work placement is excellent. However, while Youngstown is growing, don't expect a lot happening around town. For a heavily commuter college, the parking could be better organized. Positive changes are being made and definitely check it out though if your program has a good school and you want a good value for your degree.
