Accreditation

Colorado State University is Regionally Accredited

Colorado State University is regionally accredited, which means the University carries the highest level of accreditation available in the United States.

Colorado State is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, a Commission of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. To ensure academic excellence and fiscal stability, this accreditation requires an institutional review at a minimum of every ten years.

As Colorado State University reaffirms its academic accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, the University has prepared a self-study which is posted, along with other information about the accreditation process, for review online at 
All academic degrees and credit courses offered online, at a distance, and off campus through Colorado State University Online are Colorado State University programs taught by Colorado State faculty and thus have the same accreditation.
