Adult Learners
For an adult learner,
school is usually one of many responsibilities to keep track of.
Columbus State makes it easy to get a high-quality education while holding down
a career, family and home. We offer flexible classes -- and flexible payment
options -- for working adults. That's why 28 percent of our students are over
age 30.

Apply:
As an adult learner, you can apply using the standard online application, as
described in the Step-by-Step Guide to Enrollment. Don't forget to send in
transcripts from high school and any other colleges you may have attended. If
you've already taken classes at Columbus State, we may have a partial record for
you.
Tip:
Don’t forget to check out the Adult Learner newsletter for the latest news on
resources and information pertinent to adult learners. And stop by Advising and
Counseling to plot out your schedule.

Classes:
We offer a variety of majors, non-credit and skills courses and online courses.
To apply to the college, follow the Step-by-Step Guide to Enrollment. You may
also be able to get college credit for life experience through the Prior
Learning Assessment.
Seniors: For senior citizens, we offer the Good as Gold program, which allows
residents over age 60 to take classes tuition-free. Classes are offered on a
space-available basis, and participants are still required to pay for books, lab
fees and a one-time $50 application fee.
