University of Denver

At the University of Denver, we’re creating a better future for all. With a strong commitment to hands-on learning, research, and community engagement, DU provides students with the opportunity to build the skills, knowledge, and perspective needed to make a difference in our world. Our university, founded in 1864, spreads over two campuses in Denver and the stunning Colorado Rockies, fostering a unique educational experience. The University promotes a Four-Dimensional Experience focusing on intellectual growth, well-being, character development, and career skill-building. This holistic approach ensures that students not only excel academically but also grow personally and professionally.

The University has a vibrant community of around 12,000 students, characterized by small class sizes (averaging fewer than 21 students) and an 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio. This enables personalized attention and mentorship, which enriches the academic experience. Research is integral to DU’s mission; we are classified as a Very High Research University (R1), providing students with opportunities to conduct groundbreaking research while being guided by accomplished faculty members. Furthermore, sustainability and social awareness are key components of our curriculum, preparing students to tackle the pressing challenges facing our society.
