'''Central State University''' ('''CSU''') is a [[Public university|public]], [[Historically black colleges and universities|historically black]] [[land-grant university]] in [[Wilberforce, Ohio]].  It is a member-school of the [[Thurgood Marshall College Fund]].

Established by the state legislature in 1887 as a two-year program for teacher and industrial training, it was originally located with [[Wilberforce University]], a four-year institution devoted to classical academic education.  It was originally   known as the Combined Normal and Industrial Department.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/central-state-wilberforce-merge-some-operations-campus-services/FZaoPadYrmjFNudtPbt21M/|title = Central State, Wilberforce to merge some operations, campus services}}</ref> In 1941 the college gained a four-year curriculum, independent status in 1947, and was renamed as Central State College in 1951. With further development, it gained university status in 1965. In 2014, Central State University received designation as a [[land-grant university]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentidonly=true&contentid=2014/10/0223.xml|title=Statement from Secretary Vilsack Celebrating Central State University's New Status as an 1890 Land-Grant Institution - USDA|website=www.usda.gov|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120163259/http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentidonly=true&contentid=2014%2F10%2F0223.xml|archive-date=2015-11-20}}</ref>

==History==
Central State University started in 1887 as a two-year normal and industrial department funded by the state.<ref name="Campbell.google.com">[https://books.google.com/books?id=XfWCqvkp_OUC&pg=PA215&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=0_0#PPA260,M1 James T. Campbell, ''Songs of Zion''], New York: Oxford University Press, 1995, accessed Jan 13, 2009</ref> It was first located at [[Wilberforce University]], a historically black college in southern Ohio that was owned and operated by the [[African Methodist Episcopal Church]]. In 1941, its curriculum was expanded to a four-year program emphasizing teacher education. In 1947, it was separated from the university, and in 1951 renamed as Central State College. In 1965, with further development, it achieved university status.

Wilberforce University had been founded in 1855 jointly by the Cincinnati Conference of the [[Methodist Episcopal Church]] in collaboration with the [[AME Church]]; they had a biracial group of trustees to manage it, including founders Bishop [[Daniel A. Payne]] and [[Salmon Chase]], then governor of Ohio. By 1860 the college, based on a classical education, had 200 students, mostly the mixed-race children of wealthy Southern planters. With the advance of the Civil War, most of the southerners were pulled out of the school, and it was forced to close in 1862. The Methodist Church felt it could not support it financially given the demands of the war.

The [[African Methodist Episcopal]] (AME) Church purchased the facility and reopened the college in 1863, the first to be owned and operated by African Americans.<ref name="Campbell.google.com"/>

In 1887, the [[Ohio General Assembly]] enacted legislation to create the Combined Normal and Industrial Department at Wilberforce, to provide training for primary teachers in a model common in the United States, and vocational education. This department operated as part of Wilberforce University, but a separately appointed board of trustees governed the state-financed operations. This arrangement allowed state legislators to sponsor scholarship students at the university and brought other forms of useful state financial aid to the school. The administration struggled to maintain its initial emphasis on classical education as well, and allowed students to take classes in both sections.<ref name="Campbell.google.com"/>

In 1941 the Normal and Industrial Department expanded from a two-year to a four-year program. In 1947, it was legally split from Wilberforce University and was renamed as the College of Education and Industrial Arts at [[Wilberforce, Ohio]]. In 1951, it was renamed Central State College. With further development, in 1965 the institution achieved university status.<ref name="ohio">[http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Central_State_University?rec=679 "Central State University"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304102020/http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Central_State_University?rec=679 |date=2016-03-04 }}, Ohio History Central</ref>

In 1974, half the campus was destroyed in [[Xenia tornado|a severe tornado]]. The university struggled to rebuild, but has since re-established itself and achieved recognition by the state of Ohio (three Centers of Excellence), with new academic degree programs in Agriculture, Sustainable Ag and Exercise Science, and national recognition as the 2017 HBCU of the Year and for its Summer Banking Institute (HBCU Digest). Central State University is and has always been open to all students of every ethnicity, background, religion, etc. and continues to attract students from across the country and internationally.

==Academics==
Central State University is accredited by the [[Ohio Department of Education]], the [[North Central Association of Colleges and Schools]], the [[Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology]], the [[National Association of Schools of Art and Design]], [[Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs]] and the [[National Association of Schools of Music]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.centralstate.edu/prospects/legacy/about/accreditation.html|title=Accreditations|publisher=Central State University|access-date=2008-07-01 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080526162248/http://www.centralstate.edu/prospects/legacy/about/accreditation.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2008-05-26}}</ref>

In 2011, the annual cost of all fees and tuition at Central State University was about $11,500. The college has on-campus housing for about 1,700 students, at $4,000 annually.
