Our Student Profile

Colorado State Admissions evaluates first-year student applications based on several factors including rigor, performance, involvement, and other additional factors. This means that students are not evaluated by a set of requirements, but instead by their entire academic and personal record.

We are committed to maintaining high academic standards and providing access to higher education as part of our land-grant mission.
