Colorado State University Pueblo is a public university in Pueblo, Colorado, United States. It is part of the Colorado State University System and a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI).
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at 100% acceptance and just $12,948/year after aid, this is one of the most accessible and affordable paths to a four-year degree in Colorado, with a relatively modest debt load of $14,475 at graduation. The concern worth taking seriously is the 38% graduation rate — meaning most students who start here don't finish — which, combined with median earnings of $41,600 a decade out, raises real questions about return on investment. Worth considering if you have a clear plan, need affordability, and want a small campus environment, but go in with a strategy for staying on track.
