Starting College Right
This season on the Biggest Learner, we're focusing on students in the Preferred Pathway as they get started on their college career! The Preferred Pathway allows you to "pre-major" for a bachelor's degree at Ohio State, taking advantage of Columbus State's low class sizes and low tuition costs. Along the way, we'll take a particular look at COLS 1100 and 1101, the college's new first year experience class.
