University of Colorado Denver

1681 S Dayton St, Denver, CO

The University of Colorado Denver (UCD or UC Denver) is a public research university with two campuses in Colorado - its Auraria Campus in Denver, and its Anschutz Medical Campus in nearby Aurora, Colorado. The UC Denver is one of the largest employers in Colorado, thanks in part to its University of Colorado Hospital and University Physicians, Inc.

The UC Denver offers more than 130 degree programs, including undergraduate degrees as well as graduate degrees at the master's and doctoral levels. It also awards professional degrees. The UCD has the only medical school in the state and the largest graduate business school. UCD has high research activity with its research programs primarily dedicated to medicine and health sciences.

History

UC Denver was founded in 1883 as the Department of Medicine and Surgery that was located at the Boulder Campus of the University of Colorado. In 1898, it opened its Department of Nursing. In 1892, the classes for these programs were moved to Denver, where more opportunities for practical learning experience existed. The movement of the medical departments from Boulder to Denver caused a series of political battles over where to locate these programs. By 1911, the School of Medicine had merged with the Denver Gross Medical College and developed a more comprehensive program in Denver. In 1925, the School of Medicine moved to a new campus location in Denver that later became the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. With the subsequent reshuffling of an army medical center, and renaming of the health and medical programs many years later, the UC Denver health sciences schools were relocated to the army base and became the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center at what is now known as the Anschutz Medical Campus.

Another branch of the University of Colorado Denver was established in 1912 as an Extension Center of the University of Colorado. This department of "correspondence and extension" grew over the years and moved locations several times, finally becoming the University of Colorado at Denver in 1974. In 2007, the university's name was refined to "University of Colorado Denver," comprised of its Downtown Campus and its Anschutz Medical Campus (University of Colorado Anshutz Medical Campus).
