What We Do

Columbus State has been thriving for 50 years. We’re the second largest college in Ohio based on enrollment, we’ve awarded more than 50,000 degrees, and we have a near $1 billion dollar annual impact on our local economy.

These are the things we can measure.

But then, there are the things we can’t. Like the individual attention our students get in small classes. The wisdom and expertise of our faculty. And the confidence our students build, knowing they’re supported at every turn by professors who are dedicated to their success.

At Columbus State, that experience is beyond measure
