At the University of Colorado Denver, we’re changing the face of engineering. Our students and faculty solve real-world problems and make an impact in the world around us. 

The College of Engineering and Applied Science offers bachelors through doctoral degrees in five disciplines—bioengineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science and engineering. Our programs have an interdisciplinary focus, with many areas crossing over to the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. 

Our classes are small, and our students receive a personalized education. Many faculty have industry experience, bringing a real-world perspective to the classroom. Students have the opportunity to participate in hands-on research and projects, preparing them for success after graduation.

Our campus is located in the heart of downtown Denver, and a short drive from the Rocky Mountains. Come to the University of Colorado Denver and experience engineering inspired at 5,280 feet.
