Colorado State University is excited to launch a new and exciting program to allow students to begin their first semester of an undergraduate program at our Baja California Sur campus in Todos Santos, Mexico.
This program allows admitted students to enroll in courses through Colorado State University — a premier public research university in the United States — for 10 weeks of in-person instruction led by experienced CSU professors.
Small class sizes, exceptional instructors, and a close-knit learning community will help you grow as a student and as an individual, all while completing your first year at CSU’s Todos Santos campus.
CSU Salto allows you to build a community with like-minded students and experience the CSU culture in a unique setting. Outside the classroom, you’ll experience weekly outings focused on adventure, fun, and wildlife in one of the most unique and biodiverse regions in Mexico.
After your first year, you’ll transition with your CSU Salto cohort to the CSU Fort Collins campus where you’ll continue pursuing your degree — equipped with the knowledge, skills, and connections to thrive
