Nestled between the Rocky Mountains and Colorado’s stunning high plains, the University of Northern Colorado is a public, doctoral research and educational institution that is home to about 9,000 students and more than 200 undergraduate and graduate programs, many of which are nationally recognized. Founded as a teacher’s college in 1889, we have graduated generations of educators, more than any other Colorado university. Our culture is marked by academic excellence in education, health sciences, business, the humanities and the performing and visual arts. Recognized as a top university for social mobility, UNC is proud to be a Hispanic Serving Institution and to serve more than 40% of our undergraduates who are the first in their family to attend college. The university has over 130,000 alumni living and working in 50 states and 90 countries who build communities that save and transform lives. Get to know us at unco.edu.
