CSU-Pueblo is equally committed to serving the diverse population
of the region; this emphasis is reflected in the demographic
characteristics of the student body. Because more than 25 percent
of our students are Hispanic, the Federal Government has designated
CSU-Pueblo a Hispanic Serving Institution. Besides reflecting
our commitment to serve this critically important and
rapidly-growing segment of the student population, that designation
also allows the University to compete for certain federal grant
funds to support its ability to better serve all students.
The University also seeks to provide a rich and diverse
cultural environment that allows freedom of expression within a
spirit of civility and mutual respect. The public service
expected of all members of our community benefits our society -
local and global - and builds our sense of citizenship.
Among its unique features, CSU-Pueblo is one of seven schools in
the nation to offer a degree in mechatronics, which combines
electrical and mechanical engineering. The Hasan School of Business
ranks among the top 15 percent of all business schools
internationally with graduate and undergraduate programs in
business administration accredited by the AACSB International Board
of Directors. The College of Education, Engineering and

that was ranked in the nation's top 100 by U.S. News and
World Report and a School of Nursing and Health Sciences,
which was ranked the top nursing program in the state of
Colorado.
At CSU-Pueblo, Student Life offerings have increased significantly
with the transition of the campus from a commuter environment to a
more traditional collegiate experience. Competing at the NCAA
Division II level, CSU-Pueblo is a member of the Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference and offers 22 varsity intercollegiate sports
and also has active intramural and club sports teams that allow
