The University of Colorado (CU) is a public university system in Colorado consisting of four campuses: CU Boulder, CU Colorado Springs, CU Denver, and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Founded in 1876, CU Boulder is the oldest and largest among them, noted for its strong research programs across various disciplines including aerospace engineering, physics, and environmental law. Each campus has a distinct focus and character—CU Colorado Springs is known for its emphasis on the liberal arts and business programs, CU Denver is urban-centered with a diverse range of professional programs, and the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora is a prominent medical research and education hub specializing in health sciences. Collectively, the University of Colorado system is a major contributor to educational advancement, research, and public service in the state, attracting students nationally and internationally.
