CSU Online is the distance-learning division of CSU in Fort Collins. It allows students globally to earn the same regionally accredited degrees and certificates as on-campus students, taught by the exact same faculty. The only difference between CSU and CSU Online is the setting. When you enroll in one of CSU's online programs, you are enrolled at CSU, a top-tier, regionally accredited institution. Online and on-campus students receive many of the same services. Online students also receive a diploma from CSU.

CSU Online collaborates closely with the departments across the university as well as government, business, and nonprofit organizations to foster a vibrant community that cares about learners, their experience, and their success. Visit the CSU Online website to learn more about distance learning at CSU.
