Short-Term Classes

Same Content, Fewer Weeks

Short-term classes contain the same content as full-term classes, so you don't miss a thing! Condensing the information into a shorter term means more material will be covered each week.

Register for short-term classes early for your best choice of days, times, and locations.

Whether you are ready to start your first semester at Columbus State or you're already a student, it's not too late to sign up for Spring Semester classes with our short-term options:

First 8-Week Term
Monday, Jan. 13 - Saturday, March 8

Second 8-Week Term
Sunday, March 16 - Saturday, May 10

15-Week Term
Monday, Jan. 20 - Saturday May 10

11-Week Term
Monday, Feb. 17 - Saturday, May 10

First 5-Week Term
Monday, Jan. 13 - Sunday, Feb. 16

Second 5-Week Term
Monday, Feb. 17 - Sunday, March 30

Third 5-Week Term

  • NOTE: Many five-week classes are open only to students in a specified major and often fill quickly.
