The Colorado State University System

The Colorado State University System is comprised of three campuses with very distinct roles and missions. The campuses serve the state, region, country, and world, educating about 30,000 new and returning scholars annually. Highly skilled graduates number more than 6,500 per year and more than 150,000 CSU alumni live throughout the state, nation, and world.

The campuses include:

  • Colorado State University in Fort Collins, a doctoral-granting research university, was founded in 1870 as the state's land-grant institution. Through the Division of Continuing Education, CSU OnlinePlus offers undergraduate completion programs, graduate degrees and certificate programs through multiple course delivery methods, including online, streaming video, classroom, hybrid and other distance teaching technologies according to the needs of students and the particular program. Colorado State University OnlinePlus helps all colleges and departments proactively extend the academic productivity of this institution into many different communities, namely those students who cannot attend classes on campus.
  • Colorado State University-Pueblo serves as a designated Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and is Colorado's fastest growing university with a student body of more than 4,600.
