History

The institute was founded in 1908 when the YMCA organization started to offer night classes in commercial law in Youngstown. The institution came to be known as Youngstown Association School in 1916 when YMCA's educational courses were incorporated into it. Later, in 1921, the name was changed to the Youngstown Institute of Technology. The name was changed again in 1931, to Youngstown College.

In 1944, the institute severed its administrative connection with the YMCA, after seeking accreditation through the North Central Association in 1944. The institute grew as educational needs increased and in 1955, the college became Youngstown University. In 1967, the University was invited to join the system of public-supported institutions of higher learning in Ohio and was designated Youngstown State University.
