Chancellor's Message

The Colorado State University System is your resource for advanced learning, world-class research, and outreach services that target society’s greatest needs. The Colorado State University System includes two fine universities in Fort Collins and Pueblo, a prestigious Denver center for continuing education, and Extension offices prepared to serve you in 57 Colorado counties.

The Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System has outlined a vision that combines a commitment to learning excellence and global impact. Colorado State University in Fort Collins, one of the world’s leading research institutions, is a global leader in biomedical sciences, engineering, environmental sciences, and natural sciences -- tackling complex issues from cancer to clean energy. Our Pueblo campus, a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution, offers excellent professional programs and exceptional strength in science, mathematics, and engineering.

At Colorado State University, learning opportunities are accessible beyond the walls of our campuses. We offer access to educational opportunity—and the support to help students succeed and graduate. Our students also enjoy the special benefits of learning in close collaboration with faculty, the hallmark of a CSU education.

I invite you to learn about the Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System and explore the distinctive facets of our institutions, Colorado State University in Fort Collins and Colorado State University-Pueblo.
