A Message from the President | University of Colorado

CU heads south

CU heads south The University of Colorado is expanding into the south metro Denver area. We announced this week a collaboration with The Wildlife Experience, the largest cultural institution in Douglas County, which will provide CU space to begin offering classes in the south metro area in fall 2014. Our Denver campus and Anschutz Medical Campus will lead the initial effort. We expect offerings to include courses and certificates in business, education, engineering, nursing and other health areas. Programs from our Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses are expected to join the effort in the future.

We will renovate a 7,400-square-foot portion of The Wildlife Experience’s substantial facility (east of I-25 and Lincoln) into classroom and administrative space. We identified the need after conducting a market study of the area and interviewing leaders from its major employers and professional organizations. The south metro area, home to one-third of the population of metro Denver, is home to several engineering, finance and health-care related entities.
