College success for everyone
Central Ohio has an ambitious goal: By 2025, we want 60 percent of our region's adults to have a postsecondary certificate or degree. Columbus State is at the center of this work. We convened the Regional Summit on College Access and Student Attainment to allow K-12 and higher education institutions talk about college access and attainment. And we're continually working with our industry partners to make sure our programs match up to the jobs of the future.
