Colorado Early Colleges is excited to partner with Colorado State University Pueblo through a new Direct admission program designed to make the transition from high school to college easier for CEC students.

With this partnership, participating CEC students with a 2.3 GPA or higher can be automatically admitted to CSU Pueblo without completing the traditional application. There’s no application fee and no commitment to attend.

It’s another way we’re working to make higher education more accessible and help students take the next step toward their future.
