The Access Center at Colorado State University provides educational access to underrepresented populations (first generation, low-income, ethnically and racially diverse and non-traditionally aged) through quality services and programs. This mission is most important because of the influence it has on its participants and their lives.

The Access Center is made up of three federally funded Trio Programs (Upward Bound, Talent Search and the Educational Opportunity Center) and five university-funded programs (ReachOut, Alliance Partnership, Dream Project, Lorenzo de Zavala Youth Legislative Session and the Bridge Scholars Program).
