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. |
