| School mission: | Colorado State University-Pueblo is a comprehensive state university with an enrollment of more than 4,000 students, crowning the north end of Pueblo, a historically and culturally rich city of more than 100,000 located in the colorful Pikes Peak region of Southern Colorado. Fully accredited and part of the Colorado State University System, CSU-Pueblo provides relevant professional coursework, superior instruction with a small professor-to-student ratio, and state-of-the-art technology. One of the most diverse student populations in Colorado, CSU-Pueblo offers 26 undergraduate and seven masters programs through four schools -- the College of Science and Mathematics, the Hasan School of Business, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the College of Education, Engineering and Professional Studies. The CSU-Pueblo campus landscape has changed dramatically in the last two years with a $12 million renovation to its athletic and academic facility (Massari Arena), a Student Recreation Center ($10 million), Student Recreation Field, the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl football and track stadium ($13 million), and phase one ($15 million) of a three-phase residence hall project. A $24 million renovation to the University Library will begin in January, 2009. It also recently became home to the largest solar array project on a college campus in the nation, a three acre project on the northeast edge of campus, which will provide up to 10 percent of the University's utilities needs. The 1 plus megawatt CSU-Pueblo solar system will generate enough solar-generated electricity to power 225 homes. It will abate approximately 1,600 tons of carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of removing 330 cars from the roadways or more than four million vehicle miles traveled. The University installed a smaller six kilowatt solar system last year on its Technology Building. |
