AdmissionsColumbia State - A great place to start!
AcademicsThe courses offered at Columbia State are gateways to growth. Through the gateways–and in those classes–you’ll learn about your world and about yourself; you’ll discover new careers and you’ll grow.
Campus LifeWe understand that your personal and professional growth isn’t limited to what you learn in the classroom. Or rather, at Columbia State, the entire campus and its surrounding community is your classroom.
AthleticsColumbia State fields five NJCAA Division I teams. The Chargers have routinely moved on to Division I programs, been drafted by Major League Baseball clubs, and more. Go Chargers!
Arts & EntertainmentWe celebrate the important role of the arts in a well-rounded education. In addition to the books read, tests taken and study groups formed that make up our students’ academic growth, we also provide a wide range of cultural and intellectual opportunities.
Workforce & Continuing EducationIf you want to develop new skills, improve your organization’s performance or just learn new things, you have found the right place!
