Today is CHALLENGE DAY w/ our Basketball Ladies Our ROTC cadets teamed up with the basketball ladies and brought the energy, teamwork, and competitive spirit. Proud to see both groups pushing their limits and motivating each other every step of the way! Thank You basketball ladies and coach for joining us this amazing morning we had a great time and hope to keep working and challenging together to become better each day.

Great news for our military students! If the federal government shuts down in October, Columbus State University has your six.

The CSU Foundation will cover tuition costs for students relying on the Military Tuition Assistance Program until government funding is restored. This ensures our dedicated active-duty soldiers, national guardsmen and reservists can continue their education without interruption.
