The university was founded in 1908 when a local YMCA in Youngstown, OH, started offering college courses on law, business and engineering. The university adopted its current name in 1955. It offers more than 115 undergraduate majors as well as more than 30 graduate programs. Youngstown State has six fraternities and seven sororities. The 145-acre campus is home to five university residence halls and a $12 million fitness center. The Ward Beecher Planetarium at Youngstown State is free and open to the public and features a new state-of-the-art dome video system called the Spitz SciDome. The number of female faculty in the YSU College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics has increased more than 40% in the last seven years, part of a concerted effort to boost the presence of women in the college's student and faculty ranks. The university competes in NCAA Division I athletics.
