About the University of Colorado Denver

The University of Colorado Denver (UCD) joins the strengths of a comprehensive campus in downtown Denver with the research and advanced health care programs of the Health Sciences Center. The combined UCD awards more than 3,400 degrees each year and more graduate degrees than any other school in Colorado.

UCD is committed to becoming the nation's premier urban research university. With a solid academic reputation, award-winning faculty, renowned researchers, the Downtown Campus offers more than 80 highly rated degree programs at bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels.

The Downtown Campus is home to more than 12,000 students, traditional and nontraditional, from recent high school graduates to seasoned professionals. Students come from throughout Colorado, around the country, and overseas to pursue a respected education program with a convenient schedule of offerings in a lively urban environment.

Located on the Auraria Higher Education Center, the Downtown Campus of UCD is just steps away from Denver's historic Lower Downtown district with its myriad entertainment, cultural and sports venues. Because UCD shares the Auraria campus with two other institutions, students have access to facilities and resources comparable to those of much larger public universities. They also enjoy the wide array of internship and job opportunities available in the vital, growing Denver area.
