As enrollment continues to grow, work is underway this summer on new student housing on the campus of Columbia International University.
Bulldozers are moving the earth for construction of a sixth apartment building next to the existing Pine View Apartments. The new apartment building will have four floors, one floor more than the existing apartment buildings.
A big reason for the increasing enrollment from year to year is CIU’s new health and science programs. In the 2025-2026 school year, one third of the incoming class indicated they wanted to go into the sciences.
Consequently, CIU is also making plans to build a new 38,000-square-foot Health & Science Center that will significantly expand opportunities for students studying for careers in nursing, healthcare, exercise science, biology, and other high-demand medical fields. The Health and Science Center will feature advanced learning spaces, hands-on labs, and modern equipment designed to prepare future healthcare leaders for real-world service.
CIU’s total enrollment including on-campus and online students was over 3,200 students at the end of last school year. The 2026-2027 school year begins Aug. 24.
