About Columbus State

Columbus State Community College has been dedicated to meeting the educational needs of our community for more than 40 years. The College has grown from an initial enrollment of 67 students in 1963, to its current thriving campus of more than 23,000 students.

Columbus State's Career & Technical Programs division offers two-year career programs in more than 55 areas of business, health, public service, human service, and engineering technologies. Students can also take the first two years of their bachelor's degree here through our College of Arts and Science, then transfer to a four-year college.

Our Community Education and Workforce Development division offers continuing education classes, licensure courses and personal enrichment courses. Online courses fall under Distance Learning, and programs for high school students fall under K-12 Initiatives.

Our small, friendly downtown campus is conveniently located near downtown Columbus, on 80 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The campus currently consists of more than two dozen buildings, including the newest facility, the Center for Workforce Development.

In addition to the main campus, Columbus State operates 9 Off-Campus Centers in the suburban neighborhoods of Dublin, Gahanna, Westerville, Groveport, Marysville, Delaware, Grove City, Plain City, Southeast Columbus and in Southwest Columbus at Bolton Field. These suburban sites allow students to take courses close to where they live and work.

Columbus State is especially proud of its own community. Each member of our faculty and staff is committed to enhancing the educational and employment opportunities of our students. For information about our campus, try our Virtual Tour.
