The admission process at Youngstown State University (YSU) involves several steps. Prospective students must submit an online application through the university’s website or the Common Application. A non-refundable application fee is required unless waived for eligible candidates.
Applicants must provide official high school transcripts or GED scores. Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for most programs but may strengthen an application. Transfer students need to submit transcripts from all previously attended institutions.
Some programs have additional requirements, such as essays, letters of recommendation, or interviews. Decisions are typically communicated within two to four weeks of completing the application.
