Testimonals
CSU provides the highest flexibility possible and allows their students to pursue their studies as slowly or as quickly as they need.
Hasan Sami Moudarres
For 30 plus years I told every new employee that education was a lifelong process and to start a degree, finish their degree, or go back for another. Then it struck me, I was a hypocrite. I hadn’t followed my own advice. CSU gave me the opportunity to fix that.
Howard "Skip" Elliott
It has been challenging yet rewarding at the same time.
