Bachelor’s degree programs offered online through Colorado State University (CSU) have historically required students to transfer previous college credits for admission consideration. As of August 1, 2021, transfer credits are no longer required for most programs of potential students seeking their bachelor’s degree through CSU Online.

“Removing this requirement allows us to provide a much more comprehensive educational experience to our online, undergraduate students,” said Executive Director of CSU Extended Campus, Chris LaBelle. We’re thrilled to welcome more learners to our community of online Rams.”

There are currently 14 undergraduate degrees offered through CSU Online, 12 of which are included in this admissions update.

Undergraduate programs previously lacked online versions of many fundamental, general education courses required for a bachelor’s degree. In collaboration with campus departments and Admissions, these essential courses have been migrated to an online format.

“It was imperative that we add the necessary course offerings to better serve our students from start to finish of their degree journey,” added LaBelle. “Our online students receive the same coursework and faculty instruction as our in-person learners, so by expanding our course catalogue, we can further support our undergraduate students in obtaining the quality, accredited degree they’re seeking- no matter their location.”

Students seeking the Business Administration with an Accounting concentration and the Fire and Emergency Services Administration (FESA) degrees will still need transfer credits to apply for these programs.
