Courses
Courses at CU Denver are offered three times a year — fall, spring, and summer. Not all courses are available every semester. In fall and spring, courses last 15 weeks, plus one week for finals. In summer, there are opportunities for shorter, more intensive courses. This is a big commitment, but we believe the extra time you spend dedicated to your studies pays off.
