Go Green, go state! CSU is leading the way into the future.

hen it comes to its athletic programs, Colorado State University’s mission is twofold: build great character and compete for championships. CSU has committed more than $27 million to build new facilities to enhance the academic and competitive experience for its studentathletes as they strive for greatness.
CSU’s eight colleges provide access to more than 150 programs, offering worldclass degree opportunities in social and natural sciences, math, technology, engineering, business, the arts, and humanities. It’s a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves educational experience that is setting the pace nationally and internationally in undergraduate education.
Athletics is an important aspect of the CSU experience, but there is much more to embrace. CSU welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 85 countries, making Fort Collins a college town with a worldly atmosphere. It is a unique experience – the rare opportunity to learn and grow in a friendly environment where global challenges are being met daily.
Not only does CSU provide an outstanding staff of academic support professionals, it also offers student-athletes unique educational opportunities such as its 1,200-acre Pingree Park Campus, a mountain paradise 9,000 feet above sea level. CSU students and faculty form an educational partnership, working together both in the classroom and in the field. The student to faculty ratio is 17 to 1.
CSU strongly believes in experiential learning, giving students hands-on experience in the field.
Colorado State University coaches believe building a great team is really about building great people – and preparing them for success in life, as well as in athletics. The University and the Board of Governors of the CSU System have made a bold commitment to the success of CSU athletics, breaking ground this summer on two significant buildings. The state-of-the-art indoor practice facility will house a 70-yard synthetic turf field, a four-lane running track, basketball courts, and volleyball courts. The academic and training center will include an expanded weight room and the two-story Anderson Academic Center. Private supporters who believe in our program and its future have made these projects possible.
Leading the way • Approximately 600 students per year participate in study-abroad programs. • CSU’s student body is very active, with 25 percent participating in intramural sports programs.
These additions will elevate Colorado State athletics to new heights while assuring our studentathletes have the opportunity of a world-class education. Ranked in the top tier of American research universities, CSU is increasingly recognized as a university where faculty and students collaborate in the classroom to tap their highest potential and develop innovative, practical solutions to the greatest global challenges facing our planet. In the case of CSU athletics, we are building a successful program that will graduate athletes, win championships, and keep Colorado State athletics in the national spotlight. Go Rams!
