MBA Lab is a small site. Here is everything it stores, and the one thing you get to choose.
Signing you in, keeping your session secure, blocking cross-site request forgery, and remembering this choice. The free tools also save your drafts to this device so you do not lose work — that never leaves your browser and we never see it. Without these the site does not work.

Public university ยท Youngstown, Ohio
Youngstown State University is a public university with graduate business programs in Youngstown, Ohio. Those programs run through the Williamson College of Business Administration. The institution is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
The business school holds AACSB accreditation - one of 15 of the 18 schools in MBA Lab's Ohio directory that do. It is the longest-established of the three business-school accreditors recognized in the United States, and it covers the school as a whole rather than any one program - a floor, not a ranking. More on accreditation.
Federal reporting puts graduate enrollment at 2,804 students, alongside 7,961 undergraduates. Total enrollment is not MBA cohort size - ask the admissions office how many students are in the specific program you're considering, which is usually a far smaller number and the one that shapes your experience.
Based on MBA Lab's directory data, the school offers a graduate MBA path and an online MBA format for remote or working students. That puts it among the 10 of 18 schools in MBA Lab's Ohio directory listing an online MBA. Format availability changes; confirm the current lineup with the school before planning around it.
It is the only school in Youngstown in this directory - the other 17 MBA program options in Ohio are elsewhere in the state, so weigh travel time against fit before ruling them out.
These questions are picked from what MBA Lab's data already says about this school, so they're the ones most likely to surface a real difference between it and the next school on your list.

School names, locations, and program formats are curated by MBA Lab and reviewed periodically (last data update: August 2026). Enrollment, accreditation, links, and any outcome figures come from U.S. Department of Education, College Scorecard (June 2026 release). Always verify formats, deadlines, and costs on the school's official admissions pages. How this data works.

Among the 18 schools in MBA Lab's Ohio MBA programs directory that report a figure, Youngstown State University ranks 8th by one-year earnings. Schools that report nothing are left out of that count rather than counted as zero.
What these numbers are. Figures cover graduates of master's-level programs in Business Administration, Management and Operations (CIP 52.02) who received federal financial aid. At some institutions that group includes business master's degrees other than the MBA, and it never includes graduates who took no federal aid - so these are a directional signal about a school's business master's programs, not an MBA salary report.

"Not reported" means College Scorecard publishes no figure for that school - usually too few federally-aided graduates to release without identifying them. It is not a low number, and these schools are excluded from every average on this page rather than counted as zero. A dash under AACSB means the school isn't on AACSB's accredited list; it may hold ACBSP or IACBE accreditation instead, which this directory doesn't track.

College Scorecard reports median earnings of $93,018 one year after completion for graduates of master's-level Business Administration programs at Youngstown State University who received federal financial aid. Four years out the reported median is $101,077. That group can include business master's degrees other than the MBA, and excludes graduates who took no federal aid, so treat it as a directional signal rather than an MBA salary figure.
The reported median federal graduate debt is $30,750 for business master's graduates at Youngstown State University. Against the reported one-year earnings median, that is about 0.33x a year of earnings. Federal loans are only part of the cost picture - it excludes private loans, employer sponsorship, and savings.
