[edit] Degree Programs
Columbus State offers two-year career programs in more than 50 areas of business, health, public service, human service, and engineering technologies, as well as transfer programs for students who are interested in completing the first two years of a bachelor's degree, then transferring to a four-year university. Degree program offerings are very diverse, including fields such as Nursing, Architecture, Geographic Information Systems, and Nuclear Medicine Technology.
[edit] Campuses
The 80 acre main campus is located near downtown Columbus, Ohio. It consists of 26 buildings, including the newest facility, The Discovery Exchange (at the corner of Cleveland Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue) which is the brand new bookstore.
In addition, Columbus State operates 10 off-campus centers in the suburban neighborhoods of Dublin, Gahanna, Westerville, Groveport, Marysville, Grandview, Grove City, Delaware, and southeast and southwest Columbus.
[edit] New Satellite Campus
Due to the recent population boom of the area, CSCC has seen a dramatic rise in enrollment, and school officials have decided to build a satellite campus at the southwest corner of Winter Road and U.S. 23 in Lewis Center, in Delaware County, approximately 25 miles north of the original campus.
