(1) (a) There is established an online university to be known as Colorado state university - global campus. CSU global campus is a baccalaureate and graduate online university with the mission in Colorado of offering baccalaureate degree programs for nontraditional students in partnership with the Colorado community college system and selected master-level graduate programs. For baccalaureate degree students residing in Colorado, CSU global campus shall have moderately selective admission standards. CSU global campus shall comply with all applicable statutes and rules.
(b) CSU global campus shall not offer associate of arts, associate of science, or associate of applied science degrees, bachelor of applied science degrees, or career and technical certificate programs. Additionally, CSU global campus will not offer concurrent enrollment programs, state-funded supplemental academic instruction, or state-funded developmental education courses.
(2) (a) Online baccalaureate degree programs that will be offered to students residing in Colorado and that did not exist prior to August 6, 2014, are subject to review and approval by the Colorado commission on higher education. In determining whether to approve an online baccalaureate degree program, the Colorado commission on higher education shall consider:
(I) Whether the program is in the best interests of the state of Colorado;
(II) Whether the program is cost-effective for Colorado students; and
(III) Whether the program is sufficiently distinguishable from an existing online baccalaureate degree program being delivered by a state four-year institution of higher education, a state two-year institution of higher education, or jointly by a state two-year and state four-year institution of higher education.
(b) In determining whether to approve an online baccalaureate degree program pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (2), the Colorado commission on higher education may consult with other state institutions of higher education.
