The Research Experience
By integrating research into its educational mission, CU-Boulder
offers rigorous, meaningful graduate programs and valuable experience
for future careers. Students take part in faculty research programs and
cooperative research with federal agencies, laboratories, and private
agencies.
Colleges and schools on the CU-Boulder campus oversee a variety of research
institutes and interdisciplinary research centers that support and extend
discipline-based research across traditional academic areas.
Much research is also still conducted in a single department.
For more information about the research focus and opportunities within
your department of interest, read the degree
