Cleveland State University is a public institution in Cleveland, Ohio. It was established in 1964 after purchasing the buildings of Fenn College. It also acquired the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law in 1969. It is now part of the University System of Ohio.

Students may enroll in undergrad or graduate nursing programs at CSU. These options include traditional BSN, RN to BSN, accelerated BSN, and MSN programs. All four options are accredited by the CCNE. The university has partnerships with several major healthcare centers in the area, including University Hospitals, the Cleveland Clinic, and MetroHealth.
