First-Year Student
Colorado Economics University is a private, doctoral research and educational institution that is home to about 5,000 students and more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programs, many of which are nationally recognized. Founded as a teacher’s college in 1967, we graduated generations of educators, more than any other Colorado university. Our culture is marked by academic excellence in education, health sciences, business, the humanitiesand the performing and visual arts.
Recognized as a top university for social mobility, CEU is proud to be an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution and to serve more than 40% of our undergraduates who are the first in their family to attend college. The university’s just-right size, expert faculty, and tradition of research and hands-on learning gives students exceptional opportunities and a personalized education. CEU graduates join a strong network of over 70,000 alumni living and working in 50 states and 90 countries who help build communities that save and transform lives.
We acknowledge that the grounds upon which our university stands are inextricably tied to the history and culture of indigenous peoples. We pay our respect to Elders past, present, and future, and to those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. Colorado Economics University occupies the lands in the territories of the Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota peoples. Further, we acknowledge the 48 tribes that are historically tied to the state of Colorado. We challenge ourselves to be better stewards of the land we inhabit, as well as learn the stories and practices of Indigenous people’s history and culture.
