I think that this is a great school to begin pursuing your undergraduate degree. There are a diverse number of classes and there are many ways to feel connected to the student body. I think that it is important to be considerate about what school you choose and this one was not a regret for me.

Degree: Computer Science

I am currently attending CU Denver as a freshman, studying Computer Science Engineering and Economics, and it has been an a great experience so far. While some of the engineering departments may not be as renowned as something like Mines (which is hard to beat anyways), the in-state tuition at CU Denver is very competitive. I initially expected it to be much higher, but it's actually around $15,000 per year for me. When compared to schools like CU Boulder and Mines, it's clear that CU Denver offers... Read More

Degree: Accounting

The incompetence of this program/university is unprecedented. Ever since I was admitted it was nothing but problems and I feel robbed of $20k. When I was admitted I had just finished my undergrad from CU Boulder in accounting. I chose the CU Denver program for the online flexibility and because my advisor at CU Boulder said the 6 5000/6000 level acccounting credits I had taken there would transfer since it is part of the same University of Colorado school system. When applying it was my impression... Read More

Degree: Nurse Practitioner (Adult Psychiatric-Mental Health)

Agree with everything said in the November 2021 review. Not satisfied with the level of instruction, preparedness for the field upon graduation, or quality of clinical placements. The program seems to have gone downhill quite a bit from 5-10 years ago, which was sadly what I based choosing this school on, and it is not cheap. The Anschutz campus is great, just wish the program would ramp back up to its former glory. Until then, and because it is currently so self-directed, maybe save your money and... Read More

I wanted to write this review to warn potential MS students about what "hybrid" means since it was not made clear before beginning the program. From all students I've spoken to we agreed that we felt deceived by the term hybrid and were anticipating a much more interactive program. Any didactic classes (or non-clinical experiences) are online. This does NOT mean you attend a lecture online, nor does it mean you watch a recorded lecture. You are assigned readings and assignments each week and it is... Read More

By far the worst administration I've ever encountered. The amount of inconsistent and incorrect information being fed to me from every level of advisor up to department heads and program directors has been truly appalling, Im convinced no one at this school gives any care to their job. The director of my program, the woman who wrote the program and its required courses, didn't even know what seven (seven!!) classes she was in charge of (and teaching!). The education is mediocre at best, a perfect... Read More

Degree: Creative Writing

My dream was to attend a private, liberal arts college in the pacific northwest. This did not work out, and I am so happy that I ended up attending CU Denver. Not only is my debt minimal thanks to financial aid and in-state tuition (along with some scholarships from CU), but I have learned so much from this school. Nearly all of my professors have been incredible, dedicated, and thoughtful. My major and minor teachers have been nothing but amazing and I sincerely enjoyed working with them. The Creative...

Degree: Nurse Practitioner (Pediatric Primary Care)

Very dissatisfied with the lack of support during the entirety of the program by the head of the primary peds nurse practitioner department. She did not set others up for success and used fear tactics towards students to prevent them from succeeding. Look elsewhere if primary peds is your specialty of interest

UCD is a smaller program than CU Boulder, but this can be beneficial as it results in smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. The campus is easy to navigate, if you live outside of downtown Denver the Light Rail serves 2 stops on campus and the cost is included in your tuition.

I did my online MSN Leadership and Health Systems (otherwise referred to as MS iLEAD) from the College of Nursing University of Colorado Denver. It was purely online. I was able to study from Kenya, East Africa. This is a reputable university and the program there is quite thorough. The MS was coursework about 30 credit hours with a comprehensive paper at the end for defense. The group work was my biggest strength and motivation. Though most students were the US, there was a handful from other other... Read More

Degree: Public Administration

The school does little to nothing to help with career finding. Admin acted as if they were inconvenienced. Job notifications literally consisted of $10 an hour customer service jobs. Resources are completely limited for people entering the field - THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ADVANCE IN THEIR CURRENT ORGANIZATION. A Master's from UCD has added '0' value to my resume. I work in a completely different field.

There are plenty of schools across the country that offer graduate degrees in public health, but very few, if any others, can say they are a tri-campus university. At the Colorado School of Public Health you have access to three campuses, which means access to the facility at all three schools, the different courses and specialties at each location, and abundant networking opportunities. The Colorado School of Public Health has there own career services program, which is helpful from the moment you... Read More

Wish I could speak more highly of this program. Unfortunately, due to the mass confusion regarding multiple versions of curricula and poor advisers there were only 4 or 5 individuals out of a cohort of 26 that graduated in the allotted 2 years. Additionally, a grade change was issued in a course because a very new professor didn't provide a grading rubric and really didn't teach an effective course. One person in my cohort dropped out of the program after this course. Offering such a horrible class,... Read More

The University of Colorado Denver has a myriad of resources on the main downtown campus and the Anschutz Medical Campus, where I am primarily taking coursework. The School of Public Health covers various topics and the smaller class sizes are perfect for getting individual attention. The rigor of the coursework is above average and the commitment to diversity and social justice allows me to achieve my career goals.
