CSU Named Among Nation's Safest Schools

Chicago State University is one of the 50 safest colleges in America according to a study of publically available safety data compiled by backgroundchecks.org.

From the study:

When you go away to college or, better yet, send your child away for an advanced education, you want the peace of mind knowing that they are safe.  To that end, we’ve compiled a list of the 50 Safest Colleges in America.

The data to create this list was obtained from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education, who keep statistics on campus crime.Criteria for making this list were public and private 4-year universities in the U.S., with an enrollment of at least 5,000 students. Primarily online institutions were not included and most recent data available was for calendar years 2011-2013.

A special thanks goes out to all the members of the Chicago State University Police Department as well as the many Chicago Police Officers who work to keep our campus and surrounding areas safe for our students and employees.To view the full list click HERE
