Nestled
in Georgia's Chattahoochee River Valley, Columbus State University
offers comprehensive learning opportunities to an enrollment of
more than 6,200 undergraduate and graduate students. With the
recent launching of a major capital campaign, CSU has renewed its
vision of innovative learning environments, dedicated service to
community and an uncompromising commitment to education
excellence.
Columbus State University considers itself, above all else, a
teaching university. Four stellar off-campus centers bolster this
mission with rich learning opportunities: The Oxbow Meadows
Environmental Learning Center, the Coca-Cola Space Science Center,
the Rankin Arts Center and the new RiverCenter, a state-of-the-art
performing arts facility that houses three performance halls, a
world-class organ and the university's widely respected school of
music.
The RiverCenter, a public-private venture, is an example of the
university's extraordinarily strong community support in the
historic city of Columbus, approximately 100 miles southwest of
Atlanta.
With a stellar faculty, impressive facilities and small class
sizes, CSU offers a wide range of top-notch educational
opportunities, including nationally accredited programs in art,
nursing, music, theatre and teacher education. The excellence of
the university also is available through a variety of online
offerings, both for credit and not for credit, and an extensive
continuing education program.
A member of the University System of Georgia, CSU is approved to
offer more than 50 undergraduate programs and more than 35
master's or specialist programs, ranging from art to pre-med.
Students in all majors have opportunities to go beyond the campus
boundaries and enhance their traditional learning through
internships, clinical experiences, cooperative education and field
research alongside senior professors. CSU provides valuable
regional service along with "real world" experience for its
students by working on collaborative projects with a variety of
business/industry, civic, arts and governmental partners.
Additional educational opportunities are available through some
special opportunities available to CSU students, such as our
Honors Program, our heralded Servant Leadership Program and study
abroad curriculum.
At CSU, you are expected to provide the effort, enthusiasm, and
determination to take the greatest advantage of the learning
environment, the tools and technology, the opportunities, and the
people who empower you to take yourself in new directions. You
will find challenges and inspiration, support and encouragement
and an experience from not only your formal education, but also
extracurricular activities, lifelong friends and an energetic
college experience.
