COLORADO STATE APPROVES NEW ONLINE UNIVERSITY TO INCREASE ACCESS FOR UNDERSERVED GROUPS
The Colorado State University Board of Governors today approved the creation of a new online university within the CSU System designed to bring the excellence of one of the nation's top public research universities to those distant from campus. Larry Edward Penley, chancellor of the Colorado State University System, spearheaded the new university, called CSU-Colorado, to offer students an online learning program that is driven by market and job demands. "Colorado needs flexible and local access to advanced education if we want an educated citizenry," said Penley. "A working adult with a family wants to go to school in a convenient way that allows him or her to work, raise a family and improve his or her career potential. CSU-Colorado is directed at this type of individual."
