Find your study spot

The CU Boulder campus boasts a wealth of places to study, both those that are well-known and those that only a select few are aware of. Whether you're looking for a nice view or somewhere nearby to get a snack, these spots will make the hours spent studying or participating in an online class more enjoyable. 

Propose a course for the CU Space Minor

The Space Minor committee, made up of faculty from across campus, has been working on developing the minor since September 2015. Many courses have been developed to explore various areas of studies and how they relate to space. Check out previously developed courses and all the ways in which students can get involved and learn more about space-related topics.

The committee is inviting faculty and staff to propose course ideas that support CU Boulder's Space Minor to be selected for eventual funding and development.

The space minor is open to any undergraduate student on campus. It consists of one required course, Pathway to Space, and four electives from an approved list which can be found on the Space Minor website. The program is intended to broaden student perspectives on how space and space-related subjects can impact both individuals and society and guide skilled professionals to careers in space policy, history, communication, science, engineering and even space themes in film and media.

Submitting a course proposal

Funding is available to see a variety of faculty and staff proposals developed into new courses for the Space Minor. For full consideration, proposals should be submitted online by Friday, Feb. 25. The form only takes five minutes to complete. Then, over the semester, the Space Minor Committee will review and select the qualified proposals for funding.

If you have suggestions for the committee to consider or questions about the Space Minor or course proposal form, email spaceminor@colorado.edu.
