A simpler name has been given to the state's largest research and professional education university: University of Colorado Denver. A vote by the CU Board of
Regents set a permanent name for the institution that includes the Downtown
Campus in Denver and Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. The university has
used a temporary name - University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences
Center - since the Regents combined the two campuses in 2004. This is your
guide to the Downtown Campus in Denver.
Collaboration across the Downtown Campus in Denver and the Anschutz
Medical Campus in Aurora demonstrates the promise of 21st Century education.
The University of Colorado Denver offers more than 100 degree programs in
12 schools and colleges, awarding more than 3,400 degrees each year. More than
28,000 students attend the university.
The combined campuses create a university that has a diverse student body.
It has the state's largest business school, and the only Schools of Medicine,
Pharmacy, Dental Medicine, Public Affairs and Architecture and Planning.
