Columbia Southern University

Columbia Southern University is an online university. The university offers 100% online degree programs, and its website says it has over 80,000 graduates across all 50 states. Its programs are built for students who want flexible study while they work and live their lives.

Students can study for online degrees, including MBA and doctoral programs. An accelerated bachelor's to master's route is available for students who want to move on quickly. The university also offers certificate programs, continuing education courses and a summer college credit program.

Transfer credit is a key part of admissions. The site has pages on transfer credit to CSU and on international transfer credit. It also has a general education page for students who need to complete those requirements.

Military students and veterans get dedicated support. The site lists a College of Space, Intelligence, and Military Operations, military tuition information and military transfer pathways. It also has a Veterans Center, branch resources and support for military spouses.

Student support covers advising, a registrar, student resolution, career services, disability services, an online library and a student community. Career Services offers one on one career coaching, career by major exploration, labor market research, job search strategies, interview preparation and networking advice. It is available to active students and alumni at no extra cost.

The tuition and financing pages cover tuition overview, a cost comparison calculator, federal student aid, payment options and scholarships. There is also a net price calculator, a tuition refund policy and financial literacy resources. The site describes its online degree programs as actually affordable.

Employers can ask Career Services to share job openings with CSU students and alumni, for internships, part time and full time roles. The Office of Disability Services helps students register for accommodations, and the site has a handbook and registration packet for that process.
