University of Colorado Denver does provide a truly 100% online program. However, I did not find it all that engaging or helpful. The largest contributing factor to this is the fact that the vast majority of my courses primarily consisted of using a discussion platform to reply back and forth to each other as our assignments. There were few papers and even fewer actual class meetings. Instead, the professors would maybe upload a short video of themselves going over a presentation and then about 3-7...

Like most colleges and universities these days, they support either a very conservative or liberal worldview and heaven help the person who sees things differently. While I consider myself to be a moderate, I clearly have more conservative views (or simply different views) than many of the faculty and staff at UCD. Rather than fostering and encouraging an atmosphere of considering different viewpoints, I found pretty much all of my classes to push an incredibly liberal agenda and view of the world.... Read More Whenever I would try and suggest an alternate viewpoint (even when it wasn鈥檛 even my own) I was regularly shut down. Perhaps UCD is no different from any institution of higher education these days, but their goal seems more one of indoctrination than education. Differing viewpoints are discouraged, they just want you to keep your mouth shut and your head down, listen, take the tests and give the answers they expect you to, in order to get an A.

All of the professors I had at this school were kind and seemed to really enjoy teaching others. Other universities I've attended felt like the professors were there for research, and teaching was just the side venture. The professors at CU Denver it felt like they were there because they wanted to teach. The campus is beautiful and just a few blocks from a major tourist area. The business school is one of the best in the country, and it truly feels like that inside with the quality of people you... Read More interact with. If driving to the school downtown is a concern, especially in winter when the road conditions can be pretty icy, the robust transportation network nearby makes getting there very easy if you live outside the city limits. There are bus and train systems that drop you off just a few blocks from the main campus. I am glad I attended this school and it helped me land a career I love, I would highly recommend this school to anyone!

I am currently attending CU Denver as a freshman, studying Computer Science Engineering and Economics, and it has been an a great experience so far. While some of the engineering departments may not be as renowned as something like Mines (which is hard to beat anyways), the in-state tuition at CU Denver is very competitive. I initially expected it to be much higher, but it's actually around $15,000 per year for me. When compared to schools like CU Boulder and Mines, it's clear that CU Denver offers... Read More a more cost-effective option. One thing that has stood out to me is how well my professors are preparing me for a career in my field. In fact, one of my teachers went out of his way to emphasize the importance of dedicating at least two hours a day to learning programming if we want to succeed in this industry. The expertise and real-world experience of the professors at CU Denver make them trustworthy, so when my professors are saying we need to put in two hours a day minimum, I trust them. It's important to note that CU Denver does not provide the "traditional college experience." Most of the students here are commuters, and once classes are over, they head straight home. It's is understandable though because the majority of individuals attending CU Denver are focused on advancing their careers and view college as a tool vs a way to meet people. It has pros, like being surrounded by very smart and hard working people. But it's going to be hard to find parties to go to. I had a friend who recounted his experience working with a Math major who attended, and said that "he was one of the smartest people I met." It's now clear to me why - people are here to learn and work, and I think that's part of the appeal for me. Campus is also beautiful, and it's extra appealing because you're right in the middle of the city. So if you get bored, you can find something to do instantly. CU Denver is a strong choice and if you come here, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The incompetence of this program/university is unprecedented. Ever since I was admitted it was nothing but problems and I feel robbed of $20k. When I was admitted I had just finished my undergrad from CU Boulder in accounting. I chose the CU Denver program for the online flexibility and because my advisor at CU Boulder said the 6 5000/6000 level acccounting credits I had taken there would transfer since it is part of the same University of Colorado school system. When applying it was my impression... Read More that I would only need to take 8 3 credit classes to obtain my masters (which would have also been the case had I continued at CU Boulder) but, my CU Denver advisor(after I had already joined the program) then told me I wouldn鈥檛 have to retake those specific masters level classes but would have to replace them with other masters level accounting courses. So while other CU Denver students who continued their undergraduate education at the university only needed 30 5000/6000 accounting credits to graduate I needed to do 36 because I did my undergraduate at CU Boulder and not CU Denver. In terms of classes a lot professors were very young and felt unqualified. I also felt as if only one or two classes helped prepare me for the CPA exam. This 鈥渘on profit鈥� organization is supposed to have the students as their number one priority and prepare students for the CPA exam but instead it felt like the school was trying to turn as much of a profit as possible by nickle-and-diming students and not hiring qualified teachers so they don鈥檛 have to pay larger salaries. Avoid this program at all costs.

Agree with everything said in the November 2021 review. Not satisfied with the level of instruction, preparedness for the field upon graduation, or quality of clinical placements. The program seems to have gone downhill quite a bit from 5-10 years ago, which was sadly what I based choosing this school on, and it is not cheap. The Anschutz campus is great, just wish the program would ramp back up to its former glory. Until then, and because it is currently so self-directed, maybe save your money and... Read More check out other mostly online programs where you have to teach yourself everything with no live lectures.

I wanted to write this review to warn potential MS students about what "hybrid" means since it was not made clear before beginning the program. From all students I've spoken to we agreed that we felt deceived by the term hybrid and were anticipating a much more interactive program. Any didactic classes (or non-clinical experiences) are online. This does NOT mean you attend a lecture online, nor does it mean you watch a recorded lecture. You are assigned readings and assignments each week and it is... Read More self taught. You have "teachers" who send you announcements, grade your assignments, and occasionally host a "live zoom". It feels very disconnected. You don't really get to know your teachers or your classmates. With nursing, I find it's hard to retain information you are learning without the shared tidbits from professors regarding their personal experiences. They assign way too much reading and work to realistically complete each week, and no guidance on how to prioritize at least what is the most critical. So you are left on your own to decide what is important which causes anxiety and leaves you constantly feeling like you're not completing everything. Depending on your program you don't start clinicals for a full year (at least - can be more depending on the program). So that means your "relationships" with your professors and peers are strictly through online forums and emails for a good year. You can make the effort to reach out to people and organize get togethers but that is on you. The program does not facilitate this for you. Maybe other "hybrid" programs are this same format but definitely ASK the programs you are looking at to explain the structure of their online component! I wish I had.

By far the worst administration I've ever encountered. The amount of inconsistent and incorrect information being fed to me from every level of advisor up to department heads and program directors has been truly appalling, Im convinced no one at this school gives any care to their job. The director of my program, the woman who wrote the program and its required courses, didn't even know what seven (seven!!) classes she was in charge of (and teaching!). The education is mediocre at best, a perfect... Read More example of out of touch, tenured, professors using ancient textbooks written by friends and so engrained in their "method" it detracts from any relevant learning required for a professional future. Im in a DIGITAL marketing program and have yet to learn a single thing about digital-specific marketing (nor are my remaining, required courses at all related to the subject). The school is also believes the rent in Denver is a max of $800/mo, so if youre an adult attending full time, like myself, you will receive no further aid beyond what living with 3 other room mates will cost you. This school is massively out of touch, focused solely on individual cogs while missing the larger picture of providing a decent education without constant time sucks to make up for their extremely lacking administration. I absolutely regret attending this school.

My dream was to attend a private, liberal arts college in the pacific northwest. This did not work out, and I am so happy that I ended up attending CU Denver. Not only is my debt minimal thanks to financial aid and in-state tuition (along with some scholarships from CU), but I have learned so much from this school. Nearly all of my professors have been incredible, dedicated, and thoughtful. My major and minor teachers have been nothing but amazing and I sincerely enjoyed working with them. The Creative... Read More Writing department is superb (though some literature teachers in the general English department are not as great)! I have been able to take a great mix of online and in-person classes. Maymester courses are wonderful for those looking to get quick credits (these are not easy classes, though!). Maymester is 3 credits in 3 weeks and it is recommended to only take one class during this time. There are also different-length summer classes (i.e. 5 weeks instead of 8) which are sometimes available online. The campus is easy to navigate once you get used to it, and everyone is pretty friendly and helpful. Spaces are clean and there are dedicated areas for studying and printing. You actually get printing included in your tuition, so avoid the library and use the computer labs (one is in North classroom) to save money. The Wellness Center is a great addition to campus. The group-fitness instructors are fantastic and I even did a personal training course, which was super helpful for me. A downside is parking. The cost goes up every semester, and it is always full in the garages during a typical, non-Covid semester. It's about $5.50-7 for the parking every day. The lightrail is good, but definitely gets really full after 4pm when people get off work and classes. Get the RTD pass if you can and if it's included in tuition. This is a lifesaver! I've worked on campus, been part of orgs, and volunteer, and it has been such a great experience. Though many people find public universities to not be as good as private ones, I actually think this is a great school. MSU Denver is also a good alternative and a bit cheaper (same campus) but has different degrees. CU offers more graduate degrees also. Your advisor is either hit or miss. Mine has been really good, but I've heard other people have had bad experiences. My advice: look at what courses you need yourself! Don't rely on your advisors always being right. Also, take major classes earlier than you think you need to. Core classes can be taken in the summer or online really easily, but major classes might be harder to find. Most people here I think have a good experience. It is NOT a party school. There are no sororities or fraternities on campus. A lot of students are international, older, and work full-time. This is a good place for meeting people who are focused on school and their careers rather than on partying and socializing. However, there are opportunities to attend social events and lots of organizations/clubs to join. Tivoli is a great place to find activities to do. Overall, I loved going here and will miss this campus a lot!

I did my online MSN Leadership and Health Systems (otherwise referred to as MS iLEAD) from the College of Nursing University of Colorado Denver. It was purely online. I was able to study from Kenya, East Africa. This is a reputable university and the program there is quite thorough. The MS was coursework about 30 credit hours with a comprehensive paper at the end for defense. The group work was my biggest strength and motivation. Though most students were the US, there was a handful from other other... Read More countries and they valued our input so much. I cleared in 3 years.

There are plenty of schools across the country that offer graduate degrees in public health, but very few, if any others, can say they are a tri-campus university. At the Colorado School of Public Health you have access to three campuses, which means access to the facility at all three schools, the different courses and specialties at each location, and abundant networking opportunities. The Colorado School of Public Health has there own career services program, which is helpful from the moment you... Read More begin your coursework and academic career towards public health. Since it is three campuses, you have choices as to wear to live, along with different job, internship, and volunteer opportunities.

Wish I could speak more highly of this program. Unfortunately, due to the mass confusion regarding multiple versions of curricula and poor advisers there were only 4 or 5 individuals out of a cohort of 26 that graduated in the allotted 2 years. Additionally, a grade change was issued in a course because a very new professor didn't provide a grading rubric and really didn't teach an effective course. One person in my cohort dropped out of the program after this course. Offering such a horrible class,... Read More that really provided nothing, was blatant disrespect of our time and money. Program heads couldn't refund everyone so they just upped all of our letter grades. This program is very unorganized and does not offer any "real world" experience. Students are able to do an internship for course credit but the department offers no assistance finding internships. There is no collaboration or partnerships with the University and those working in the field. We completed one research practicum with an outside partner. We were told our work would be published on the website. However, the reports we spent a whole semester writing are no where to be found on the website. Seems like we did a lot of work to just sit on a shelf. I had two excellent professors, Dr. DeGrandchamp and Dr. Briles, other than coursework completed with those professors this program was a huge let down. It's unfortunate to feel like your degree in invalid or not enough because of such an unorganized program. While the degree helped me get my job, I do not use skills learned in my graduate program in my career. Maybe in a few years this program will be better but in the mean time I would not recommend this program what so ever.
