Turner College Contributes to CSU’s Military-Friendly Designation

Beyond academics and college affordability, Columbus State University provides a wide variety of programs and services to help current and former military members acclimate to university life. Collectively, these programs are integral to the university’s consistent recognition as a Military-Friendly.com institution. The program’s most recent 2023-24 rankings find Columbus State as the 8th military-friendly “small public” university in the nation. Columbus State offers multiple academic pathways for active-duty soldiers to help them advance in their military careers or begin their transition to civilian life. Columbus State’s close proximity to Fort Benning offers a unique benefit for active-duty soldiers completing the U.S. Army’s 22-week Maneuver Captain’s Career Course (MCCC or MC3). CSU provides pre-approved graduate transfer credit for MCCC graduates. By combining that transfer credit with three prescribed, three-hour courses, MCCC graduates can go on to earn a master of science in organizational leadership from CSU’s Turner College of Business. “Even seven years after I graduated from CSU’s organizational leadership program, the lessons I learned remain relevant to and the foundation of my career,” said Maj. Gabriel Koshinsky ’16, who followed up the Maneuver Captain’s Career Course with a master’s in organizational leadership from Columbus State. “The [MSOL] program helped to develop my self-awareness and critical thinking to become a better leader, peer-leader and follower. CSU provides the essential opportunity at a critical point in an officer’s career to forge warrior scholars.” “Our programs are ideal for our active-duty who are looking to add a specialized credential or boost their subject-matter expertise quickly,” said Samantha Miller Gurski, director of CSU’s Continuing and Professional Education and a graduate of the Turner College’s MSOL program. “For soon-to-be-retirees, veterans, and military spouses, our certificate programs and professional development courses provide a launching pad for a civilian job in their current area of specialty or an entirely new career.”
