The Modern Manufacturing Work-Study program allows students to start earning college
credit in high school before entering the Electro-Mechanical Engineering major, where
they gain experience in the classroom and on the job. After two semesters at Columbus
State, students are placed within a partner company as a work-study student. Over the course of the three following
semesters, students attend class two days per week and work three days per week. This
unique program helps employers access a pipeline of qualified technicians, and helps
students prepare for immediate employment after graduation with minimal student debt.
