Akron, Miami, Cincinnati and Toledo are all parts of the University System of Ohio.
Sorry; I misread the thread title.
Miami University is not named for a city. It’s in Oxford, Ohio.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Cal Poly has two campuses. San Luis Obispo and Pomona. The schools individually are referred to as Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Pomona.
So does this count?
Seattle University
Seattle Pacific University
St. Cloud State
Winona State
Both in Minnesota.
Until a few years ago, Minnesota State-Moorhead and Minnesota State-Mankato were Moorhead State and Mankato State, respectively.
Cal Poly doesn’t count because it has the name of the state in it.
St Cloud St and Winona State don’t count because they have “State” in them.
At least, that’s how I read the OP.
Here’s a list to peruse.
These are both private universities.
There’s the University of the District of Columbia. Which normally wouldn’t count except that DC isn’t an actual state, so technically it does count. I think.
Also its full and official name is Rutgers the State University of New Jersey, so it double doesn’t count. :dubious:
I’m getting:
U of Montevallo in Alabama
Vincennes U in Indiana
U of New Orleans in Louisiana
Salisbury U and Towson U in Maryland
U of Akron and U of Toledo in Ohio
Langston U in Oklahoma
The 14 “(Name of City) U of Pennsylvania” schools (not named State, but named for the state)
College of Charleston in SC
U of Memphis in Tennessee
The U of Houston system in Texas
Radford U in Virginia
All state-run, named for their city, but not “(City) State.”
It seems to be largely, but not exclusively, a Southern phenomenon.
Oakland University in Rochester (Hills?), Michigan is named for the county rather than a city. Close enough?
Similarly, while Miami University is in the city of Oxford, OH, it is named for the Miami Valley (through which the Great and Little Miami Rivers flow) in which it is located.
You are correct. I guess I didn’t word the OP very well.
