Columbus State University

Choose your brightest future with CSU!
Nationally recognized for our commitment to internationalization and community service as well as educational impact and outreach efforts, we’re small enough to get to know you yet large enough to offer 65 undergraduate programs (plus 30 graduate degrees) in areas such as Business, Computer Science, Music, Nursing, and more. CSU features a diverse community of students from many different states, countries, and cultural backgrounds. Here you can be challenged by your peers (45% minority and a growing international population) to try on new ideas. 

CSU’s programs are ranked in reports such as U.S. News & World Report, Affordable Colleges Online, Top Management Degrees, and College Choice, as well as placed in the top 50 among public regional universities in the South and top 100 among all regional universities in the South. CSU’s online graduate programs in Business and Computer Science were recently ranked among the top 35 nationwide (CEO Magazine, GoGrad.org 2016).

A safe environment
As the second-largest city in Georgia, Columbus offers a safe small-town feel where CSU is a highly respected part of the community and our students are treated with respect, dignity, and enthusiasm throughout the area. Our growing international population means a ready-made community of students seeking a great education in an exciting new culture.
