About Cleveland State University
Cleveland State University is a Public university in Cleveland, OH, USA. A dependable option to anchor a shortlist, and usually among the more affordable. Programme-level tuition on this page is read from the university's own fees page for international students; where the university publishes no annual figure we say so rather than estimate one.
Tuition & scholarships: we confirm the exact fees and funding you qualify for — free, for your profile.
Entry requirements
Typically for broadly accessible US universities, a four-year bachelor's degree with a GPA around 2.75-3.0/4.0; IELTS 6.0-6.5 overall or TOEFL 71-79, with the higher end the safer target to prepare for. Many programmes now waive the GRE, but some still require it, so confirm before you decide not to sit it. A three-year Indian bachelor's is judged case by case: it normally needs a course-by-course evaluation from WES or another NACES-member agency, and that evaluation may report three years of US study rather than four-year equivalence, so never assume it will be accepted. This is general guidance for US entry, not this university's own published rule; your Vibedu counsellor confirms the exact bar for free before you pay an application fee.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.

Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, $). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in $, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (30 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from $ at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
