“Columbia College has been serving those who serve for nearly four decades” said Jennifer Jonas, Interim Senior Director of Public Relations at Columbia College. The home campus of Columbia College in Columbia, Mo is an ROTC crosstown school. Columbia Colleges are conveniently located. Out of Columbia College’s 33 campuses in the U.S., 18 are on military bases. Courses at Columbia College are available on campus, online, or both. Many military service members take advantage of the benefits Columbia College offers specifically to their needs. One in four students at Columbia College serve in the military or is a military dependent. Jonas says that by looking at Columbia College’s partnerships with GoArmyEd, EArmyU, NCPACE and NCPDLP programs, ROTC programs, and test centers on 15 bases, “you’ll see why more than 8,000 military students, dependent and veterans choose Columbia College each year.”
