Nestled in the center of one of America's most vibrant and fastest growing cities, the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) is Colorado's only public urban research university. In its recently-released 2023 rankings, US News & World Report has recognized CU Denver as #1 for mobility in the state of Colorado for the second year running, and consistently ranks it as one of the nation's best schools. CU Denver educates a diverse student body through quality academics, ambitious research, creative work, and civic engagement in the city it calls home. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is a public education, clinical and research facility serving 4,500 students, and a world-class medical destination at the forefront of life-changing science, medicine, and healthcare.

In 2004, the Denver and Anschutz campuses were consolidated to realize enhanced mission outcomes with greater academic, administrative and operational efficiencies. The two campuses remain a single academic entity, accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, and are an integral part of the four-campus University of Colorado system.
