About Colorado State University
As one of our nation’s top public institutions of higher learning and Colorado’s land-grant institution, Colorado State University is committed to making things happen – from the classroom and the laboratory to communities across the world. Colorado State University aims to continue its growth as a top-tier destination for talented students, while also passionately pursuing its mission and heritage as the land-grant institution for the state of Colorado. Our campus is the heart of Fort Collins, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, and only an hour from the Denver metropolitan area. The wide-open spaces, 300 days of sunshine each year and majestic backdrop make Fort Collins, a city with a population of about 150,000, an attractive place to work, live, and learn. Fort Collins and Colorado State University regularly top the “best of” categories for livability and employee support.
