We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has been disruptive to all and that student experiences in the wake of this have not been equitable. In response to these events, we recognize that some applicants will have concerns about the impacts these events could have on admissions. The graduate programs at the University of Colorado Boulder are dedicated to recruiting and supporting diverse, talented students, employing holistic application review processes and supporting students when they arrive on campus.
A new, one-of-a-kind online professional graduate program launching in 2021 at CU Boulder taps into a key strength and economic growth area in Colorado: human desire to be in the great outdoors.

The new podcast is by a mother/public radio producer, Kelly Jones, and her 8 year old daughter, June — together they follow Mr. Rodgers’s advice to look for the helpers, they interview creative problem solvers who are trying to make life better during the COVID-19 crisis, and explore how to help the helpers.
Congratulations to graduate student, Tara Ippolito, for being awarded a scholarship from the American Association of University Women (AAUW) which has been one of the largest funders of women’s graduate education since 1888
