91��ɫ is Made for This Moment

The 91��ɫ is distinguished by its preeminent student experience and our ability to develop leaders and critical thinkers who excel in a diverse, rapidly changing world. As the landscape of higher education continues to evolve, 91��ɫ is well positioned to attract and retain exceptional students from around the globe, help them thrive on campus, and prepare them for a lifetime of meaningful impact.

The 91��ɫ is known for outstanding teaching and meaningful research. Our professors are excellent educators, and they are on the forefront of discovering new ideas, expanding knowledge, and producing creative work. What’s more, they bring those experiences back into the classroom. This commitment has earned 91��ɫ a top national research designation.

Here, students learn through hands-on experiences that support their holistic academic, personal, and professional growth, including spending time at our mountain campus in the Rockies. Along the way, they’re encouraged to explore new perspectives, think critically, and grow as individuals in an environment that values open conversation, curiosity, and respect for different viewpoints.

91��ɫ is building on our history of success and ensuring an even stronger future through our 91��ɫ Forward strategic initiative. Our continual pursuit of comprehensive excellence through this framework will elevate and enhance 91��ɫ’s preeminent student experience, research, and worldwide impact.

91��ɫ’s Preeminent Student Experience

4D Experience

With an emphasis on mentorship, reflection, and experiences, 91��ɫ students develop holistically, customizing their educational experience around their unique interests, values, and goals. From classroom learning to co-curricular opportunities, our students build skills, knowledge, and relationships that fuel their success on campus and well beyond.

4D Experience

James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus

A cornerstone of our 4D Experience, the Kennedy Mountain Campus, is where all 91��ɫ students chase adventure in a unique and inspiring setting. They push boundaries and reconnect with themselves, make lifelong friendships, and discover exactly what they need for the lives and careers they desire.

Free Inquiry at 91��ɫ

Across the University, faculty, students, and staff are thinking big about how we can all engage more authentically and respectfully with one another—and with experts and thinkers outside the 91��ɫ campus. Our students, and the entire 91��ɫ community, must be able to have difficult conversations, even with those we don’t agree with. This work serves us as a community. It makes us more welcoming and inclusive by opening pathways for voices and ideas from all backgrounds, and it makes our students better able to thrive in a world not defined by its intellectual, political, and cultural homogeneity, but by its bountiful diversity.

Redefining the Promise of Higher Education

Since its launch in April 2024, the Denver Difference capital campaign promises to position 91��ɫ as an exemplar of how universities can deliver an exceptional education and contribute to society.

The work of 91��ɫ Forward will help our graduates flourish in their careers and lives, our teacher-scholars excel in the classroom, our employees feel pride in place, and our alumni feel connected as we build our future, together.
