Now I feel I have found a community that accepts me, and I love all the social events CU Denver offers to make connections and branch out.

I chose CU Denver because our Music Business program has been nationally ranked in Billboards ‘Top Ten Best Music Business Schools’ multiple years in a row.

They are career driven, meaning they’re not only giving us the knowledge we’ll need once we find jobs, but they are also helping us get those jobs through strong alumni and professor networks. I feel confident that my time at CU Denver is propelling me into the workforce while I gain my degree. Not to mention I get to do all of this in my beautiful home state of Colorado.

• First-generation resources
• Internships
• Application status
• Student Life

I choose CU Denver because I love the urban setting and how diverse CU Denver is. When I was researching colleges, I knew that I wanted a University that had a diverse setting, and I totally found it at CU Denver. Since the University is in the lower downtown of Denver it has gave me many opportunities to grow within myself and in my program of study. I was able to obtain an internship for the Jefferson County Courthouse where I assist victims with filing for protection orders or I help them fill out divorce paperwork. CU Denver offers different types of resources that will benefit each student, and as a first-generation student I knew that these resources would benefit me in the long-term and I just love how CU Denver has those resources to help everyone.

I chose CU Denver because of the city campus, not only was it close to home but close to local business in the heart of downtown Denver. The campus’ benefits to Colorado residents as well as being located so close to Colorado sporting venders and Denver’s theme park, Elitch Gardens. The diversity in student backgrounds and education level as well as the continuous expansion of CU Denver. Not only can I pursue a degree in business but will learn how to apply that knowledge to my minor in film and TV production with classes focused on real world situations. CU Denver also has student resources that can help students find internships with companies locally or abroad. My first time at the school I was able to meet some of the professors and was very impressed at their commitment to the student's education, and their welcoming attitude toward new students, like myself at the time.
