the Hasan School of Business, the College of Humanities and Social
Sciences, and the College of Education, Engineering, and
Professional Studies and 10 graduate programs.
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
Professional Studies houses an undergraduate engineering program
that was ranked in the nation's top 100 by U.S. News and
World Report. CSU Pueblo has an ever-changing campus
landscape that features a newly renovated Library, a new general
academic classroom building, and a newly renovated and expanded
student center.
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
students to get involved in campus life.
