Small Classes = Better Learning
At Metro State, you benefit because you get to know professors—and other students—in classes that average just 22 students.
Small classes are more interactive, which helps you truly master the material. Professors who know you personally can inspire and guide you in achieving your educational goals. Plus, Metro State’s sense of community allows you to feel comfortable asking your professors for time and counsel outside of class.
You get the best of both worlds:
- resources of a large, urban college
- personal relationships fostered by small classes
