As one of only 36 public research institutions in the Association of American Universities (AAU), the University of Colorado Boulder is all about realizing the positive impacts of new knowledge.

From offering dozens of exciting programs in a range of academic fields, to serving as one of the world’s most dynamic research and innovation hubs, to working closely through hundreds of public outreach efforts with communities across Colorado and the world, we take pride in helping our students, faculty, staff and partners turn new ideas into productive outcomes that change lives.

There is a great value in Higher Education, including increased career potential and quality of life. We work to make high-quality education worthwhile, relevant and accessible.

Our story has been unique from the beginning. It isn’t all just facts and figures, it’s a story about people. People with inspiration, vision and courage to free themselves of preconceptions. To think. To explore. To invent. We created a film that shares our story, and the stories of the people who make our university so special.

Hands down, our students are the foundation of our success. Their determination and drive pushes boundaries as they collaborate in our creative environment. From inventive research to simply expressing school pride, CU Boulder students are an integral part of our community.

At CU Boulder, we welcome an innovative culture, where students and faculty collaborate to test new concepts. We support this culture by encouraging students to explore our creative labs and entrepreneurial events that allow everyone to question, experiment, seek answers and find solutions.
