CSU is an excellent online school. The professors usually respond to all emails within a day and provide reliable feedback. Most assignments consist of writing assignments, so be prepared. Plagiarism is easily detected and not tolerated. The tuition is very reasonable compared to other online schools. All of my textbooks were free as long as I mailed them back to CSU upon completion of each course. I would recommend this school to anyone who works full-time or does not have the time to commute to school.

As a military member I've study in other colleges, but I returned to CSU because it's flexibility, versatility, and support from my counselor and administration. I'm almost done with my master degree and I feel very excited with my future career. My only regret is not having more science related degrees.

I graduated college in the 1980's so going back to school to change careers seemed daunting. In my circle of armed forces veteran friends one suggested CSU because they may take a lot of the credits I earned through my military training. I went through the submission process and they applied a lot of my credits towards a BS degree in Occupational Health and Safety. I was surprised at how organized and structured the on-line learning process is and the instructors are very knowledgeable. When I talk with other safety professionals that graduated from a an expensive traditional college I find that I learned just as much or more through CSU! CSU is one of the best educational values going!

CSU is completely an online school. While, it is not a regionally accredited school, it is a DEAC school, which means its nationally accredited. I have completed 2 degrees from regionally accredited schools, both a B.A and a M.S. I decided to get an MBA from CSU and knew it was not regionally accredited but that did not matter. The education is well versed and the instructors give decent feedback. Overall, the school is great for working adults and people who want an online education. Also, they have numerous of degree offerings that suit just about anyone's needs. The school is not easy and the work is time consuming, so be ready for a challenge.

I've already graduated with an Associate and will graduate with a Bachelor in 2019. This is NOT an easy school! you will work as hard or harder than any brick-and-mortar school. I value my education and am proud to say I attend. So, if you are a working adult or otherwise challenged to attend a traditional school then I highly recommend considering CSU.

Columbia Southern University is an online school. I will complete my degree in June of this year with a GPA of 3.8. This is not a degree mill school. You have to work for your grade. Great school
