Student veterans and service members who attend the College of Business make countless sacrifices in order to keep our communities and country safe. So to honor that service we work to provide a rigorous education that is open and accessible by dropping application fees, offering tuition discounts up to 10%, waiving GMAT requirements for qualified applicants, and creating an environment that fosters success.
After our students graduate we don’t stop supporting their growth, offering lifetime access to our Career Management Center. The CMC provides career counseling, networking opportunities and our staff work tirelessly to connect graduates with promising opportunities.
Our alumni have found fulfilling careers, putting their skills and strong work ethic to use at companies across the country, with many graduates even launching their own business ventures.
Nate Saam
Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps
B.S.B.A. graduate
“I’m married, got a house and a dog, and I’ve been around the world twice. I’ve gone into combat zones. I wasn’t looking for the standard education,” Saam said.
“I wasn’t looking for someone to talk at me. I was looking for professors to engage and talk with me, and I think that’s what made CSU a good fit.”
Rick Dixon
1st Sergeant, U.S. Marine Corps
Master of Accountancy graduate
After more than 16 years of service, Rick Dixon left the military and began yet another battle: Finding the answer to the question, “What’s next?”
There were more hurdles to conquer, such as earning a place at CSU and overcoming a cancer diagnosis in 2012.
Kristin Mabbutt
Lieutenant, U.S. Navy
Current Executive MBA student
When she wasn’t in the air, Kristin Mabbutt rotated through a slew of ground jobs ranging from managing operations to aviation maintenance.
The skills she was picking up left her with a desire to learn more, but she always found herself too busy to dedicate the time needed to pursue a degree.
Victor Amaya
Specialist, U.S. Army
Master of Accountancy graduate
Victor Amaya’s parents always stressed the importance of gaining an education, but they didn’t know how they were going to be able to afford it.
So, at 18 years old he joined the Army to be able to support himself, serving for seven years before looking at Colorado State University to advance his career.
