The Scoop
The University of Denver is a private research university located in Denver, Colorado, and is the oldest independent university in the Rocky Mountain region. With approximately 12,000 students, DU offers strong programs in international studies, business, law, and engineering, with a growing emphasis on experiential learning and global engagement. The Josef Korbel School of International Studies is nationally recognized.
The campus is located in a residential neighborhood south of downtown Denver, providing easy access to the city's thriving job market, outdoor recreation, and cultural scene. Denver's proximity to the Rocky Mountains makes it one of the most attractive college settings for students who enjoy skiing, hiking, and outdoor activities. DU's Division I hockey program is a major source of campus pride. Admissions are moderately selective, and DU attracts students who want a mid-sized university experience that combines strong academics with the lifestyle advantages of one of the country's most desirable cities.
DU's graduates benefit from strong career services, connections to Denver's growing economy, and the personal development that comes from a mid-sized university with a global outlook. The university's emphasis on experiential learning means students graduate with practical skills alongside their degrees. A tour with a current Pioneer shows you the beautiful campus, the proximity to the mountains, and how DU's combination of academics, outdoor lifestyle, and professional opportunity creates a distinctive Colorado college experience.
