• Low Job Placement Rates
• Variable Tuition Rates

Low Job Placement Rate

CSU is a quality institution with plenty of benefits, but offering just over 30 degrees makes for a weak variety of degrees when compared to other institutions. Depending on what program students choose, the job placement rate can be extremely low. Some programs report only a 27% job placement rate. That can be bad news for students pursuing careers related to those fields of study.

Variable Tuition Rates

Tuition costs and other fees vary depending on the program a student enrolls in. Each program also has varying credit requirements, meaning some programs require more credit hours than others. Students will need to look into their specific program to accurately assess what the total cost will be.
