To meet the diverse needs of its clientele, Columbus State
University offers a mixture of liberal arts and professional
programs at the associate, baccalaureate and graduate levels. An
exemplary general education program is the foundation of all
undergraduate degree programs. Columbus State University also
provides a strong learning support program to serve those students
under-prepared for the rigors of university work. The university
responds to the needs of under-served populations by providing new
academic programs, offering off-site instruction and utilizing
distance-learning technologies.
Columbus State University judiciously uses its financial resources
in developing and implementing credit and non-credit programs. In
addition to meeting the general educational needs of its students,
the university continues to identify and support programs and
services for which a reputation for excellence has been and/or
will be developed.
These select mission areas include:
- the
fine and performing arts;
-
science, mathematics, and technology education;
-
regional economic and community development;
-
international education and exchange;
-
educator preparation.
Columbus State University offers a variety of services to
stimulate the intellectual, cultural, physical and social
development of its students. Services are student-oriented and are
directed toward successful recruitment, advisement, retention and
placement. Research, consultation and other outreach efforts
enhance the region as well as the institution; these efforts are
supported and encouraged.
The management of all Columbus State University programs and
services reflects a competent, confident and caring commitment to
the development of the students, the institution and the region. |
