YSU’s mission was revised to align with the Chancellor’s Strategic Plan for Higher Education 2008–2017: Building Strong Communities Through Applied Learning and Research, which called for universities in the University System of Ohio to stimulate Ohio’s economic rebirth by graduating more students, keeping graduates in Ohio, and attracting more out-of- state degree holders. The plan classified YSU as an “urban research university,” thereby emphasizing its mission to contribute to the Mahoning Valley’s economic rebirth and to improve educational attainment in the region.

  • How-To Guide: Sharing Courses/Programs at Ohio's Colleges and Universities
    How-To Guide: Sharing Courses/Programs at Ohio’s Colleges and Universities September 2017 ii How-To Guide: Sharing Courses/Programs at Ohio’s Colleges and Universities Background Ohio Revised Code Section 3333.90 requires the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) to establish a course and program sharing network that facilitates the sharing of curricula for existing courses and academic programs among Ohio’s community colleges, four-year universities, and adult career centers. Furthermore, the statute requires the Chancellor to adopt rules to administer the course and program sharing network. The purpose of the network is to increase course and program availability across the state and to avoid unnecessary duplication by allowing institutions to share courses and programs upon agreement. Course and program sharing is an academic collaboration that provides the opportunity for credit to be more accessible and affordable while maintaining the quality of the curricula. Establishing new academic or training programs is often expensive and time consuming, particularly when striving to meet student demands or local industry needs in a timely fashion. The concept allows two or more campuses to work in collaboration to deliver programming that specifically addresses student, business, and/or industry needs and to meet those needs quickly and efficiently. ODHE defines course and program sharing as the delivery and management of curriculum offered between two or more institutions of higher education. The “home” institution is where the student receives his/her degree or certificate, and the “host” institution is the collaborating partner where a student takes a course outside of his/her home institution.
