Maybe it's the courses and programs designed to help students lead thoughtful and engaged lives. Friendly, active, outgoing. Of course, spending time on campus is best, but our Web site can provide you with a great deal of information about the University, as well as contact information for the people who can tell you more about the specific programs that interest you. Before you begin your exploration, let me tell you what I believe makes the University of Denver special. DU offers the academic challenges of a large research university and the quality and intimacy of a small private college.
Students enjoy the personal attention so important to the educational experience.
Students can earn a bachelor's and master's degree in five years. F or educational opportunities, our location in the Rocky Mountain West and in one of America's most vibrant cities is hard to beat. Students spend time interning in downtown firms, volunteering in local elementary schools, examining issues that face urban neighborhoods, appreciating cultural offerings, studying mountain streams and exploring the back country. DU educates students to be ethical leaders and engaged citizens. Our Pioneer Leadership Program, Operation Outreach, our Center for Service Learning and Civic Engagement, the Institute for Ethics and Values, and the Bridge Program all help students develop an appreciation for and commitment to civic work.
