The One. The Only.
We're Ohio's first and only college dedicated to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Our faculty are academic experts. But they're also working professionals, involving students in their daily research. You don't have to go to Silicon Valley to see the latest advances in modern electronics; that happens in our backyard.
Opportunity doesn't knock, because it's already at our students' doorstep. Take our STEM Professional Services, for example. Its sole purpose is to place our students in pre-professional internships.
With this level of professional support, it's not hard to see why we're Ohio's "first and only" STEM college. It's because we're some of Ohio's best.
College of STEM Units
Academics
- Department of Chemical and Biological Sciences (and Forensic Science)
Five laboratories. Numerous research projects. Our students are scholarship winners, published researchers and lab experts in genetics. And that's just to name a few.
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

MINORS
GRADUATE DEGREE
CHEMICAL SCIENCES
Usually you find X-ray diffraction labs in corporate settings and large research universities. But our university is one of very few predominantly undergraduate institutions in the country to have a state-of-the art X-ray facility of its own. Where else can you get this level of hands-on learning as an undergraduate student?

PhD in Materials Science and Engineering
YSU-BACCMED
The YSU-BaccMed program is a premier program for premier students committed to primary health care, particularly for medically underserved populations. Students graduating from this program will have the scientific and mathematical foundations, medical training, and logistical and sociological tools to build a professional, scientific career providing state-of-the-art medical care to underserved populations as a primary care physician.
BACHELOR'S DEGREE
- Department of Mathematics and Statistics
We believe in providing opportunities, to our students and students yet to come. That's why we sponsor activities with our local community and school system. And we are committed to the highest standards of excellence, with students who are presenting research and winning awards at national conferences and contests. And did we mention that YSU's first Rhodes Scholar is a Math major?
