Columbus State
University serves a wide variety of students, from the traditional
recent high school graduates, to adults with one career behind
them and another to be discovered with additional education.
Almost 1,000 students live in campus housing and a growing number
are from the Atlanta area.
Our students are pursuing two-year, four-year and graduate and
specialist degrees, as well as taking courses through the Division
of Continuing and Regional Education Services. We have students in
the military and students from more than 50 countries around the
world.
Fall 2004 enrollment was another record year, hitting 7,224. There
were more than 2,300 freshmen, 1,200 seniors and 900 graduate
students.
The ratio of men-to-women at CSU is following a nationwide trend
and slowly becoming more and more skewed. This year, about 62
percent of the student body is female.
Almost 30 percent of the students in the fall 2004 class
identified themselves as African-American; three percent,
Hispanic (the largest increase, percentage-wise, over last year);
and 60 percent, white.
About 34 percent of students were under 21, while 65 percent of
students were under 26 years old. About 11 percent of students
were 41 years old or older.
Less than half of the students were from Muscogee County, while 92
students came from foreign countries, 445 students were from
Alabama and 462 come from other states. At least 600 students
enrolled from the Atlanta area home, given that 598 students were
from Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fulton and Gwinnett counties
alone.
