Academic Philosophy

A Colorado State education is about more than GPAs and test scores. It’s about inspiring and empowering the whole person. Together, we learn by doing at the cutting-edge of discovery and practical application—and we collaborate across disciplines to spark real-world solutions.

Practical, Experiential Learning

We’re inspiring students inside the classroom and out with the greatest technologies and techniques in education. From study abroad experiences to cutting-edge laboratory equipment, we’re empowering you to pursue what inspires you.

Interdisciplinary Programs

Discovery is fueled by different perspectives. It’s why our programs foster collaboration between disciplines and departments and inspire every Ram to connect, grow, and learn from their peers.

Solving Real-World Challenges

We’re taking education far beyond the theoretical, empowering students to apply their abilities to solve real-world issues of today and shape a better tomorrow.

The energy we share here is limitless

Our accredited, top-tier online programs offer all the resources and flexibility you need to translate inspiration into action, upholding the same rigorous standards and reputation as our in-person offerings; so you feel the same palpable energy that fuels unstoppable change.

Find Your Difference-Celebrating Energy

We believe that an inclusive education is collaborative by nature, empowering students to learn just as much from each other outside of the classroom as they do inside of it. From our Equity and Inclusion Network to the Faculty Institute for Inclusive Excellence, we’re constantly drawing inspiration from each others’ stories and powering endless possibilities.
