Mission Statement

Founded in 1870, Colorado State University has evolved from its humble beginning as a land-grant institution and research University to its current stature as a leader in higher education in the state, nation and world.  The strength of the CSU’s Continuing Education program is backed by more than 40 years of experience.

CSU’s Continuing Education offers accredited undergraduate degree completion programs, accredited graduate degrees, and professional development training and certificate programs. Academic areas of excellence include engineering, organizational performance, and educational leadership. Our commitment to distance and online learning gives students the flexibility to set their own pace and choose the most convenient time and place to study.
