The University of Denver (DU) is an independent, coeducational, four-year university in Denver, Colorado. DU currently enrolls approximately 10,400 students, about equally divided between graduate and undergraduate programs. The 125-acre main campus is a designated arboretum and is located primarily in the University Neighborhood^[1], about seven miles (11 km) south of downtown Denver.

Background and rankings

The University was founded in 1864 as Colorado Seminary by John Evans, the former Territorial Governor of Colorado, who had been appointed by US President Abraham Lincoln. Evans, who also founded Northwestern University prior to founding DU, is the source of the town in Illinois named "Evanston" (the site of the Northwestern campus) as well as Mount Evans, a 14,000+ foot mountain visible from the DU campus. The reverse initials "DU" are used as the University's shorthand moniker (rather than the more intuitive "UD") as part of a Rocky Mountain and midwestern tradition of initial reversal, similar to the University of Colorado's "CU", the University of Oklahoma's "OU" and the University of Kansas' "KU."

The 'Colorado Seminary' was founded as a Methodist institution, and struggled in the very early years of its existence. By 1880, the Colorado Seminary had been renamed the University of Denver. The first buildings of the University were located in downtown Denver in the 1860s and 1870s, but concerns that Denver's rough-and-tumble frontier town (the city was founded in 1858) atmosphere was not conducive to education prompted a new campus (today's campus) to be built on the donated land of potato farmer Rufus Clark, some seven miles south of the downtown core. The University grew and prospered alongside the city's growth, appealing primarily to a regional student body prior to World War II. After the war, the large surge in GI bill students pushed DU's enrollment to over 15,000 students, the largest the university has ever been, and helped to spread the university's reputation to a national audience.

In 2005, Denver selected former provost Robert Coombe as its new Chancellor.

DU is one of the top private universities in the Western United States and ranked in the top 100 nationally according to U.S. News and World Report. The nationally ranked Daniels College of Business is the primary undergraduate and graduate drawing card, but there are also considerable graduate level strengths at the Sturm College of Law, and in professional psychology, international studies, and social work.

Profile of the average accepted undergraduate student in 2005:

• Age: 18
• Gender: 52% of applicants are female; 48% of applicants are male
• GPA: 3.63
• SAT score: 1212
• Domestic applicants: 39% from Colorado; 61% from other states
• International applicants: 3.3%
• Domestic students of color: 16% of applicants

Campus

The heart of the campus has a number of historic buildings. The longest-standing building is University Hall, which has served DU since 1890. Evans Chapel, an 1870s vintage small church which was once located in downtown Denver, was relocated to the DU campus in the 1960s, and Buchtel Tower (1913), which is all that remains of the former Buchtel Chapel, which burned in 1983. The administrative offices are located in the Mary Reed Building, a former library built in 1932 in the collegiate gothic style.

Under the leadership of former Chancellor Daniel Ritchie (now Chairman of the Denver Center for Performing Arts), about $500 million in capital improvements have taken place in the last decade and the learning inside these new buildings has improved in the same period, as admissions selectivity and rankings have improved dramatically.

In autumn 2003, DU opened a new 63.5 million USD facility for its College of Law, what was later named the "Sturm College of Law." The building includes a three-story library with personal computers accessible to students. Donald and Susan Sturm, owners of Denver-based American National Bank, had given $20 million to the University of Denver College of Law. The gift is the largest single donation in the 112-year history of the law school and among the largest gifts ever to the University.

The Daniels College of Business was completed in September 1999 at the cost of $25 million dollars. The business school has been nationally recognized by such prestigious organizations such as Forbes magazine, Business Week, and the Wall Street Journal where it is ranked 4th in the nation for producing students with high ethical standards.

Additionally, the University also recently opened the acclaimed $75 million Newman Center for the Performing Arts, which houses the acclaimed Lamont School of Music. The center includes a 1,000 seat, four-level opera house with the finest acoustics in the region, a 250-seat recital hall with the largest (3,000 pipes) natural organ in the region, and a 300-seat flexible theatre space. The Newman Center serves as home to many professional performing arts groups as well as University performing arts events.

Student body and academics

In addition to their traditional undergraduate programs, the University of Denver is home to the following colleges:

• University College, for non-traditional undergraduate students
• The Women's College, for non-traditional undergraduate students (women only)
• Daniels College of Business
• Graduate School of International Studies
• Graduate School of Professional Psychology
• Graduate School of Social Work
• Morgridge College of Education
• School of Engineering and Computer Science
• Sturm College of Law
• The Ricks Center for Gifted Children

DU has long been known as a school with an affluent, upper-middle class student body, with about 53 percent of the undergraduate students coming from outside the state of Colorado. DU has been transforming itself from its former undergraduate reputation as a "ski school" into a much better institution that combines small classes with university level resources, all in a young, vibrant and beautiful area of the United States. The graduate programs represent over half of the total enrollment, with a more local, professional focus.

The experiential learning components of all the classes at DU gives students the chance to excel beyond book knowledge. Believing firmly in the value of an experience abroad, the Cherrington Global Scholars program offers every undergraduate the chance to study abroad at no cost above normal DU tuition, room and board.

The art and music scene of DU is currently on the rise due to the recent construction of the Newman Center for the Performing Arts. This building houses both the Lamont School of Music and the DU Theatre Department. The Lamont School of Music is a structured conservatory setting which allows students to focus on their talents in a competitive manner. The theatre department, reestablished in 1985, is currently being transformed into a nationally competitive theatre school. Recently, their show "Henry the VI part iii" was selected as one of the best in the region was considered for national recognition. For the second straight year, a DU show has been held for regional honors.

With the recent addition of more faculty members and renovation beginning on Margery Reed Hall, the Theatre Department has become a magnet for theatre students in the region. Much of the faculty have many professional connections with local theatre companies (Curious, DCPA), as well as contacts in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and many other regions, providing students with many available options for internships and quick job placement.

The University was the first in the country to establish what has continued to be an innovative and internationally recognized Digital Media Studies program, organized as a joint venture between the departments of Mass Communications and Journalism Studies, Art, and Computer Science. DMS faculty and students are currently working on an NSF-funded video game design and development initiative aimed at increasing interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in select Denver high schools.

Recently, the University of Denver Sturm College of Law has also undergone an internal renaissance. In 2003, the University of Denver ATLA trial team won the national championship in New Orleans, taking Harvard's title from the previous year. It is now a top 100 law school in the US News rankings.

The Institute for Public Policy Studies (IPPS) boasts two former Colorado Governors as teaching faculty. Richard Lamm was joined in January 2007 by Bill Owens, further establishing DU's IPPS as the premier graduate public policy program in the Rocky Mountain West region of the country.

Denver is one of the few schools in the US that personally interviews every undergraduate applicant (with interviews in more than 25 cities per year), ensuring that most accepted students will find that the University is very interested in the person, not just the applicant's credentials. The Hyde interview is named after an influential DU professor, Ammi Hyde, and most students describe the process as insightful rather than painful, so the interview should not be considered a deterrent for prospective students who are nervous that they will not perform well. Further information can be found at the Ammi Hyde interview page.

The University has recently established an Undergraduate Research Center. This Center provides funding for the Partners in Scholarship program, offering students the opportunity to work directly with a faculty member over the course of a quarter or over the summer. The student may design the research project with the faculty member's approval or may work with a faculty member on an existing research project, thus affording students an opportunity for close mentorship and relationship-building that strengthens the student's overall learning experience. Annual conferences on campus highlight student research efforts

The Ricks Center For Gifted Children is a privite school on campus of DU that teaches preschool thru 8th grade. It was founded and is currently drected by Norma Hafenstien.

Athletics

DU's athletic teams are known as the Pioneers and have been fielding intercollegiate teams since 1867. With over 200 All Americans, 25 NCAA Championships and 53 Olympians in its history, there is a long tradition of excellence in Pioneer sports. Today, DU operates a full NCAA Division I athletic program with a unique and successful mix of sports in and around the $75 million Daniel Ritchie Center for Sports and Wellness, which was completed in 2000.

The Pioneer Ice Hockey Program has one of the richest histories in college hockey. Ice hockey is DU's flagship spectator sport, regularly selling out the new 6,000 seat Magness Arena on campus, the showpiece of the Ritchie Center for Sports and Wellness. The Pioneers won consecutive NCAA hockey titles in 2004 and 2005, to go with five previous NCAA Championships in the '50s and '60s, giving DU seven hockey titles overall, second only to the University of Michigan's nine NCAA hockey titles. Skiing is another strong sport at Denver, with 18 NCAA titles (more than any other school) including the most recent in 2005 and as well as three consecutive NCAA titles from 2001 to 2003.

The Women's Gymnastics team finished 10th at the 2007 NCAA Championships. The Denver Men's Lacrosse and Women's Soccer teams appeared in their respective 2006 NCAA Tournaments with women's soccer advancing to the second round, and the Women's Basketball team appeared in the 2001 NCAA Tournament. The Mens and Women'sGolf teams, Men's Soccer, and Men's Lacrosse teams have all also been ranked in the national top 20 in recent years, while the Men's Basketball team won the Sun Belt West Division in 2005 and appeared in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) for the first time since the 1950s.

Denver is a member of the Sun Belt Conference for Men's and Women's Basketball, Swimming, Tennis and Golf, as well as Women's Volleyball and Women's Soccer. The other Denver teams play in various conferences in the sports that are not sponsored by the Sun Belt. Men's Ice Hockey plays in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, Men's Soccer and Women's Lacrosse play in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, Men's and Women's Skiing competes in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association, while Men's Lacrosse plays in the Great Western Lacrosse League. Women's Gymnastics competes as an Independent.

It is no secret that Denver would prefer to play the majority of its sports in a more appropriate regional conference. The West Coast Conference is often cited as Denver's preferred conference destination, given the WCC schools are also smaller private schools that also do not have big-time football. Other possible conferences that are mentioned for Denver include the Mountain West Conference, the Western Athletic Conference and the Big Sky Conference. However, those three conferences are football-driven, and Denver would need to be admitted as a restricted member (if those possibilities were ever to materialize). Until something new happens, Denver will stay as a Sun Belt member.

Football was once the most popular sport at Denver, as the school competed in the Sun Bowl and Alamo Bowl during the late 1940s. The football team played in a 30,000 seat stadium that stood on campus from 1927 to 1974. However, the program was discontinued in 1960 due to financial reasons, and Denver's baseball team was dropped in 1999 when DU returned to full NCAA D-I status.

Denver's athletic alumni include over 50 NHL hockey players, including several who are current (2006-2007) NHLers Antti Laaksonen, Mark Rycroft, and 2007 Calder Trophy nominee Paul Stastny, all of the Colorado Avalanche, Wade Dubielewicz of the New York Islanders, Matt Pettinger of the Washington Capitals, Gabe Gauthier of the Los Angeles Kings and 2006 Hobey Baker Memorial Award Winner Matt Carle of the San Jose Sharks. Previous DU players who starred in the NHL include Keith Magnuson, Craig Patrick, Cliff Korroll, Peter McNab, Glenn Anderson, and Kevin Dineen. Ledendary hockey coaches at Denver include three former NHL players - Murray Armstrong, Marshall Johnston and Ralph Backstrom. The current hockey coach is George Gwozdecky.

Other notable Denver sports alumni include former Major League Baseball player Dan Schatzeder, NBA basketball players Vince Boryla and Byron Beck, CFL Hall of Famer and former NFL football player Sam Etcheverry, 1952 US Olympic Long Jump Gold Medalist Jerome Biffle, former US Olympic Committee Executive Director Lyman Bingham, and former Colorado Rapids/US National soccer player Nat Borchers. San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich received a masters degree from DU but did not play any varsity sports there. Five time world champion and US Olympic figure Skating star Michelle Kwan is currently enrolled at DU as a full-time sophomore, having transferred from UCLA.
