At CU Denver, the Graduate Education ecosystem includes a variety of different offices and teams. Central university units—such as the Graduate Studies Office, the Office of Admissions, and International Admissions—work together as the operational backbone for campuswide graduate education processes and recruitment activities. These teams partner closely with programs within our seven schools and colleges to facilitate a smooth graduate studies experience from application to graduation.

Depending on the nature of your question, you may need to contact one of our central teams or your school/college directly. Review the details of each office below to determine which one to contact.
