CSU-Pueblo

Since its incorporation in 1933 as Southern Colorado Junior College to its new designation as a regional, comprehensive university, CSU-Pueblo has served the changing needs of the citizens of Colorado. From the first classes in 1933 on the top floor of the Pueblo County Courthouse to today’s multi-media classrooms, the University has constantly evolved to provide the best education to its students.

On July 1, 2003, the University of Southern Colorado officially changed its name to Colorado State University-Pueblo. The change promises greater undergraduate and graduate program choices and a more marketable and recognizable degree from the Colorado State University System.

Although the name and mission changes signify a new era in CSU-pueblo’s history, the University retains its high value-to-cost ratio, small class sizes, and strong performance of its graduates. The University remains committed to a strong community connection with Pueblo and surrounding southeastern Colorado communities. CSU-Pueblo now spans more than 275 acres on the northeast edge of Pueblo

As a comprehensive university, CSU-Pueblo offers a broad array of undergraduate degree programs in the humanities, social sciences, sciences and mathematics, education, information and engineering technologies, nursing, and business. The University addresses students’ immediate and long-term educational needs through a focus on career-oriented education grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences.

Characteristic of comprehensive universities nationwide, CSU-Pueblo also offers selected master’s degrees that meet statewide and regional needs. Currently, these programs are offered in business, engineering, nursing and the sciences, while others are being developed. In collaboration with CSU in Fort Collins, CSU-Pueblo also offers master’s degrees in social work, and educational leadership.

Colorado State University-Pueblo competes at the NCAA Division II level in basketball, golf, soccer, and tennis for men and women; baseball for men; and softball, volleyball, and cross country for women. It is a member of the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Athletic.
