Science
Columbus State offers world-class science courses, with individualized instruction, for the lowest tuition rate in the area.
Columbus State is a two-year school, so students can take the first two years of their bachelor's degree, then transfer. Students can now obtain a specialized associate degree in science, which give you a head start when it's time to transfer to a four-year school. See Degrees that Transfer.
Students can also take individual courses -- many students take courses here while still enrolled at their host college. It's a great way to knock out an elective, and our small classes make Columbus State an ideal place to take a tricky course. See Transient / Guest Students.
