Welcome to Colorado State University!

If you are looking for a great education at one of the top universities in the US, welcome to Colorado State University. CSU’s roots date back to 1870, when the institution was founded and from these origins a world-class institution grew. Today, Colorado State’s campus encompasses over two million square meters and is home to 27,566 students, including 4,008 graduate students. CSU is also a Carnegie Class I research institution with annual research expenditures topping $317 million in 2015, placing us at the very top of American public research universities. CSU has helped international students make the most of their academic, social and cultural opportunities for over a century. Highly qualified university instructors, facilities equipped with the latest technology, small classes, support services, social activities and a welcoming university community all contribute to the students’ experience. CSU is a top research university where professors receive many awards and grants for their research. Students often get the opportunity to be a part of the research and apply what they learn in class. More than 80% of undergraduate classes have fewer than 50 students, which allows a high level of student-teacher interaction.

“Colorado State University is a globally engaged, top-ranked research university that welcomes you to become a part of our campus community! With our home in the beautiful city of Fort Collins, our excellent academic programs and vibrant student life, we can help put your goals within reach. Please join us!"

“I think the Pathway program was really helpful for me to finish my master's program at CSU, because the Pathway program provided me with a lot of practice in listening and writing. I really liked the program because my professors and classmates in the Natural Resources college are really kind and friendly. Most importantly, they were really creative. Everything is possible after you learn a lot of new concepts and new ideas.”
