Columbia Southern University
Columbia Southern University and APS are working together to provide an affordable and quality education.
Columbia Southern University (CSU) was founded in 1993 by Dr. Robert Mays in Orange Beach, Alabama, in order to meet the demand for alternatives to the traditional university experience. As one of the nation’s first completely online universities, CSU provides students with a quality education that includes the flexibility they need for success.
