It's not too late to get started on a great education. Get started at Columbus State now. Classes begin March 26.
Registration opens Jan. 30, but you can browse Spring Course Schedules now. There's time to Apply Online, meet with an Advisor or take a Tour.
And we probably don't have to tell you about our low tuition costs. Our tuition is about a third what you see at a four-year state school, and we haven't raised tuition since 2006.
I Applied. Now What?

New pathway to Ohio State
Our Preferred Pathway partnership with Ohio State University is a clear, guaranteed pathway to becoming a Buckeye. Students who qualify for the Preferred Pathway get a designated "pre-major" at Columbus State, and if they complete it, they're guaranteed to be admitted to Ohio State as a junior. You can also apply for the P3 Scholars program, which brings additional advising and benefits from Ohio State.

Switch to Semesters
Like all other public colleges in Ohio, Columbus State is switching to Semesters in Autumn 2012. That means it's imperative to see your Advisor and create a plan to graduate. You may want to add another class this spring to try to finish up before the switch.
Online Learning
Columbus State is the largest provider of distance learning classes in Ohio, with 13,709 students signed up for at least one online class in Autumn Quarter. If you need to fit a class into your schedule -- or just hate finding a place to park -- try Online Classes
Delaware Campus
Our new Delaware Campus offers dozens of classes. There are four degrees you can complete entirely in Delaware: the Associate of Arts/Associate of Science transfer degree, an associate degree in Business and an associate degree in Computer Information Technology.
Close to home
With nine Regional Learning Centers, it's easy to take Columbus State classes wherever you live. Classes are available in the evening or even on weekends to fit your work schedule.
At any one of our Regional Learning Centers, you can take classes leading to an associate degree, professional certificate, or updated job skills. Want to complete a degree entirely off campus? That's possible at the Dublin and Westerville centers.
