University of Denver
Founded in 1864 - just a few years after the city of Denver itself was founded - the University of Denver (DU) is one of the country's premier private universities. The University's midsize 125-acre campus, a few miles south of downtown Denver, is home to 5,754 undergraduate students hailing from all regions of the United States and 43 countries. DU offers a uniquely flexible quarter system (and a six-week winter break), one of the top study abroad programs in the country, close access to the foothills and world-class recreational opportunities, and more than 100 undergraduate programs of study.
