At CU Denver, the city is our classroom. We know that 80 percent of new college graduates have completed one or more internships, and we want to make sure you can compete and succeed through the "internship advantage." That is why we work hard to connect you to real-world experiences relevant to your long-term career goals. Our students are awarded over 600 highly coveted internships around the country every year.
Once you decide to seek an internship, we are with you every step of the way, helping you understand the importance of internships, define your qualifications, find opportunities on InternLink, and apply. After students begin internships, we continue to mentor them to maximize the learning and professional experience—whether they are working at Disney or the Denver Botanic Gardens, Habitat for Humanity, or History Colorado. When students engage in experiential learning, they become accomplished professionals who are self-reliant, motivated, and ready for the next challenge. At CU in the city, they learn with purpose on the job.
Mentored by gifted faculty who are engaged in their research, graduate and undergraduate students from all schools and colleges engage in research projects that reflect their wide range of interests.
