As one of 34 U.S. public research institutions belonging to the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU)—and the only member in the Rocky Mountain region—our goal at CU Boulder is to directly affect Colorado communities through collaborative research, innovation and entrepreneurship. Our faculty, staff and students work with the broader community to establish unique connections that have lasting outcomes—both across Colorado and around the world.

Positive impact is enhanced when great ideas merge with ambitious goals. At CU Boulder, we provide our students, faculty and staff with the tools they need to create a community of thinkers and doers who can benefit humanity locally, nationally and abroad.
