Central Ohio needs more college graduates to fill today's jobs, and Columbus State is making it happen. Over the past five years, the number of associate degree graduates at Columbus State has risen 55 percent.

These graduates move directly into jobs in small businesses and large corporations, hospitals and fire departments, design firms and manufacturers, IT shops, and engineering providers. Thousands of students are also completing the first two years of their bachelor's degree before transferring to The Ohio State University, Franklin University, Ohio University, Otterbein University, and other colleges. They're leaving Columbus State with two years (or more) of college credit, the skills to excel in the classroom, and little or no debt.
