Academic Excellence
Recognition of Scholarship +
As a professionally oriented school, the College of Architecture and Planning provides an atmosphere for study and creative investigation in which the attainment of quality is held in the highest esteem. In recognition of high scholarship and professional attainment, the college grants honors at graduation in two categories: honors and special honors. Scholarships, prizes, and awards are given to outstanding students and faculty on an annual basis.
Honors at Graduation +
Students achieving a grade point average of 3.500 to 3.740 (honors) and 3.750 to 4.000 (special honors) are recognized at commencement. Honors are based on course work completed at the University of Colorado.
Scholarships, Loans, Awards, and Prizes +
A wide range of scholarships, prizes, and other awards are available to the college’s BEnvd undergraduate students. They are sponsored by the college, the campus, the professions, and other foundations and donors. A list of available scholarships and awards, together with application information and the application schedule for all scholarships and awards, is published at the beginning of the spring semester each year, and is posted on bulletin boards in the ENVD Building and on the college website.
In addition to these scholarships, interested students may participate in faculty-student research projects funded by the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) and by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) programs, or in other research projects funded by one of the college’s five research centers.
