Future Undergraduates
Find the right path to engineering success
One third of Colorado State University students transfer from another institution. We’re here to help you join our campus community.
Whether you are transferring across campus or from another institution, we have the information you need to successfully join the college.
We are excited about the diverse Colorado engineering talent this program will reach, and we look forward to those future Colorado engineers helping enable the path to a cleaner, decarbonized world.
Colorado Community College System
We’ve made the community college transfer process easy for students studying civil or mechanical engineering!
A Colorado community college student who has completed an Associate’s degree in Engineering Science can transfer directly into our civil engineering OR mechanical engineering degree program.
CSU has signed statewide community college transfer agreements for mechanical and civil engineering majors with the Colorado Department of Higher Education and the Colorado Community College System.
The agreement streamlines the transfer process for students who wish to complete their lower division coursework at one of 13 community colleges within the Colorado Community College System.
This guaranteed credit transfer means students can rest assured that they’ll be on track toward their bachelor’s degree as soon as they arrive.
“Ditesco is eager to see the impact this agreement will have on Colorado students pursuing civil engineering. Our firm has a long-standing relationship with CSU. This is a significant milestone and will make a distinguished difference in the civil engineering industry.”
