Columbus State Community College

Columbus State Community College has been dedicated to meeting the educational needs of our community for more than 40 years. The College has grown from an initial enrollment of 67 students in 1963, to its current thriving campus of more than 23,000 students.

Columbus State's Career & Technical Programs division offers two-year career programs in more than 55 areas of business, health, public service, human service, and engineering technologies. Students can also take the first two years of their bachelor's degree here through our College of Arts and Science, then transfer to a four-year college.

Our small, friendly downtown campus is conveniently located near downtown Columbus, on 80 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The campus currently consists of more than two dozen buildings, including the newest facility, the Center for Workforce Development.

In addition to the main campus, Columbus State operates 9 Off-Campus Centers in the suburban neighborhoods of Dublin, Gahanna, Westerville, Groveport, Marysville, Delaware, Grove City, Plain City, Southeast Columbus and in Southwest Columbus at Bolton Field. These suburban sites allow students to take courses close to where they live and work.

The mission of Columbus State Community College is to provide quality educational programs that meet the life-long learning needs of its community. Through its dynamic curriculum and commitment to diverse learners, the college will serve as a catalyst for creating and fostering linkages among the community, business and educational institutions. The college will proactively respond to the changing needs of our community and its role in the global economy through the use of instructional and emerging technologies.
