It's Different Here
Our philosophy of what college should be is different. We’re not just interested in what you can achieve; we’re interested in what you can become. At the University of Denver, we make a deep and intentional investment in personal wellness, intellectual rigor, integrity of character and every student’s commitment to the common good. We call it the Four-Dimensional Experience and it's all For the Difference.
For the Difference That Creates Communities
When you join this community, you’ll experience long-standing campus traditions that you’ll remember forever. You’ll join clubs that are centered around what you love. You’ll benefit from an intentional investment in diversity through supportive leadership programs and international connections. Your time on campus will allow you to forge deep friendships with like-minded peers, as well as differentiating personalities—cultivating meaningful growth along the way.
For the Difference That Sparks Brilliance.
Our quarter system is unique and it means you’ll be able to experience more than you might elsewhere. You’ll gain deep knowledge across a breadth of subjects, forge confidence-building relationships with your professors and participate in meaningful research. During the Winter Interterm, you can travel to amazing places like Nepal without interrupting your progress toward graduation. At DU, you’ll be challenged, encouraged and empowered—in and out of the classroom.
For the Difference Denver Makes
Elevate your education in the Mile High City with DU's integrated city and mountain student experience. Take advantage of Denver's 300 annual days of sunshine while you study. Hop on a short light rail ride to access world-class museums, performing arts, professional sports, dining and more. In addition to everything you'll experience on the campus, opportunities are available in the nearby Rocky Mountains at the James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus, where you'll have the chance to hone your leadership skills, reflect on your ideals and cultivate wellness.
