Since its founding in 1876, the University of Colorado has not only grown its physical footprint, but also its leading-edge capabilities and its reach across Colorado, around the globe and into space.

There are nearly half a million CU alumni globally, and more than 60,000 students take CU classes each year, working toward bachelor’s, master’s and professional degrees, or taking classes to expand their knowledge and further their education. The university boasts a broad range of academic disciplines, innovative programs, world-class faculty and research opportunities, and community programs that reach all corners of Colorado. CU plays a profound role in the state’s academic, cultural and economic vitality.

Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver and the Anschutz Medical Campus are united in making a difference in Colorado and far beyond.
