Degrees
At Columbus State, you can take a two-year degree, then transfer to a four-year school
and finish your bachelor's degree. Our degrees are designed to transfer seamlessly
to most public colleges in Ohio and a number of private schools. Many students also

Take classes here, then transfer
Students often come here to take only a few courses, then transfer to another school.
Sometimes they want to start here to get into the swing of college; other students
take classes here while home on break.
Students here enjoy small class sizes, no teaching assistants, and tuition fees that
are nearly a third of those at four-year colleges. They also find courses every bit
as rigorous as those at four-year schools.
