From DU
At the University of Denver, students build the skills, knowledge, and perspective needed to thrive in a dynamic world and excel in meaningful careers. From our world-class faculty and facilities in the city of Denver to our campus in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, our Four-Dimensional Experience means we invest in every dimension of our students’ personal and professional development. At DU, we ignite academic excellence, foster exceptional character, architect powerful career readiness and nurture whole-body well-being.
Small class sizes, a focus on experiential learning, top-ranked study abroad programs and a strong and supportive alumni base help our students build the foundations needed to design lives and careers that lead to big impacts and positive changes. As one of the smallest private R1 institutions in the nation, we empower students to solve the challenging problems of our time and make new discoveries in our labs and our communities. And with our flexible quarter system, students are easily able to explore and pursue multiple majors and minors across disciplines, choosing from over 100 academic areas of study.
DU boasts 100 student organizations, 18 Division I athletic programs (including our ten-time national championship men’s hockey team), and 30 club and 20 intramural sports.

Learning Effectiveness Program
The Learning Effectiveness program was founded in 1982 as an academic support program for University of Denver students with learning disabilities. Our mission is to support learning and neurodiversity by providing students opportunities and resources for personal growth, academic skill building, and connection.
Working under the Dean of Student's office in Student Affairs and Inclusive Excellence, the Learning Effectiveness Program (LEP) has developed some of the most comprehensive and innovative support services provided at the post-secondary level. Our nationally recognized program serves over 350 students each year.
University Universities are larger institutions that typically contain multiple different schools for different subjects. Students at these schools will be connected to a large group of peers and have many resources at their fingertips.
City Urban institutions typically offer more options when it comes to internships, jobs, community service, research positions, social lives, and more. However, some may find the city distracting, and the cost of living is typically higher.
