About

Chicago State University (CSU) is a public university in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Founded in 1867 by the Cook County Board of Commissioners, it was established as the first teacher training school in Cook County. In 1960, the institution was divided into two branches with one eventually becoming Northeastern Illinois University. The state of Illinois began funding the institution in 1951 and assumed full control in 1965. CSU is a predominantly black (PBI) university.
