Columbus State Community College is a two-year community college located in Ohio that offers associate's degrees and professional/career certificates.  Columbus State is committed to providing education to diverse learners, and offers a range of programs to meet the needs of the changing student body. The "Career & Tech" associate's degrees and certificates are offered in more than 120 areas of health, business and engineering technologies. There are also "transfer-friendly" programs in the Arts & Sciences that allow students to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree, that they will complete at another institution.

 

Columbus State serves its local community through its Community Education and Workforce Development program, providing non-credit workplace and career-specific training to the local workforce.  This includes language training to recent immigrants that helps students meet the requirements to earn a GED, and "transitional workforce" training.  Columbus State also provides programs for high school students through its K-12 programs.
