A journey of lifelong learning

Metropolitan State has always been a pioneer in education for “post-traditional” students: adult learners who frequently have full-time jobs, transfer students, those transitioning into new careers, and students supporting families.

While other institutions are just recognizing this population, Metropolitan State has been there from the beginning, with credit for university-level learning from life/work experiences, flexible scheduling, online and hybrid class options, and our popular individualized degree programs.

Our students reflect the communities we serve, and our graduates bring their skills and knowledge home, serving the needs of their own communities.

Supporting your success

It isn’t always enough to be a motivated, self-directed lifelong learner. We work to advance the academic, professional and personal success of students through culturally enriching experiences, advocacy and extracurricular opportunities. Whether you need help with development, support services or TRiO programs, Metropolitan State is there to help you make your next step a success.

Planning your academic future can seem like a daunting task. At Metropolitan State, new students are assigned to an academic advisor: a professional advisor with knowledge about university policies, programs and procedures. From tackling questions about class schedules to working through serious challenges affecting academic progress, Metropolitan State’s academic advisors are ready to help.
