Our mission at Columbus State is to provide Central Ohio residents the educational opportunities they need to get to the next phase of their career - whatever that may be. First, you can go here and get a two-year associate degree in a Career & Technical field, which qualifies you for a job immediately. Or, you can get an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science, which represents the first two years of a bachelor's degree and you can transfer to another college. Third, we offer a variety of short-term training opportunities and continuing education through our Community Education and Workforce Development division. Check out our Majors and Programs for more on our offerings.
