University of Colorado Boulder
The University of Colorado Boulder, founded in 1876, is the flagship of the CU system and one of the top public research universities in the country, with a research budget that includes deep, decades-long partnerships with NASA and NOAA, reflecting Boulder's status as a major hub for federal aerospace and atmospheric research. CU Boulder's aerospace engineering program has sent instruments and payloads on numerous NASA missions, and the university counts more astronauts among its alumni than almost any other public university, a distinction tied directly to its aerospace research strength and its close relationship with the federal space agencies headquartered nearby. The university's Leeds School of Business and its environmental science programs have each built strong national reputations, and CU Boulder's location at the foot of the Rocky Mountains has made it one of the most consistently popular public universities in the country among out-of-state applicants specifically drawn to the outdoor-recreation lifestyle the campus offers. CU Boulder's combination of serious federal research funding, a stunning mountain-backdrop campus, and a reputation for an active outdoor and social student culture has made it one of the most heavily applied-to public universities in the country relative to its size, particularly among students from outside Colorado.
VS
University of Denver
The University of Denver, founded in 1864, is the oldest independent private university in the Rocky Mountain region, and its Josef Korbel School of International Studies, named for Madeleine Albright's father, has built a strong national reputation in international relations and diplomacy training. DU's Sturm College of Law and its Daniels College of Business have each built solid regional reputations, and the university's men's hockey program, one of the most successful in NCAA Division I history with multiple national championships, gives DU an athletic profile unusual for a private university of its size and academic focus. The university's relatively small undergraduate enrollment, around 6,000 students, and its residential south Denver campus give DU a more intimate, liberal-arts-college feel than its full research-university course catalog and graduate school offerings would otherwise suggest. DU's location within the city of Denver itself, rather than a separate college town, gives students direct access to the region's business, legal, and international affairs sectors, and the university's combination of urban access and a compact, walkable campus has made it a popular choice for students who want city access without CU Boulder's larger scale.
