Graduate Studies

Woman in library readingColumbus State offers master's and specialist degrees in 31 areas through classes on its main and RiverPark campuses, including two online degrees.

Many graduate classes in our nationally accredited programs meet in the evenings and some on weekends. Prospective students are encouraged to contact coordinators listed below and check degree sites for program-specific deadlines and requirements, information about scholarships and graduate assistantships, and more. CSU's academic calendars are also helpful for planning a return to school.

Future students should also be aware of graduate admission requirements and three general application deadlines:

May 1 for summer start | July 15 for fall start | Nov. 15 for spring start

Program-specific deadlines and requirements, if they exist, should outweigh general deadlines and requirements.
