An education plus
Nationally recognized for our commitment to internationalization and community service, CSU is small enough to get to know you yet large enough to offer graduate degrees in more than 35 academic areas. Our purpose is to promote student achievement, research, scholarship, global learning, strategic partnerships, and engagement through discovery and practice by offering opportunities for one-on-one interactions with outstanding faculty, mentorships, and professional partnerships.
Make it affordable
A graduate degree from CSU is not only excellent but also affordable. Because we’re a public university, tuition is already reasonable. Plus, we’ll help you obtain the financial assistance you need to graduate with minimal debt. Serving as a Graduate Assistant is a great opportunity to gain experience, develop your professional skills, earn a stipend, have your tuition waived, and work closely with faculty, staff, and students.
We know most grad students are working professionals in addition to being students. We also know a traditional learning environment doesn’t always lend itself to graduate students and their careers. Columbus State University is leading the way in online graduate learning in Georgia and beyond. With more than 30 of our grad programs and tracks offered virtually, we’re able to offer students the flexibility to take classes on their time and their schedule.
