The University of Colorado is a public university system, not a private institution. It comprises four campuses: Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver, and the Anschutz Medical Campus. Funded by state appropriations and tuition, it offers a range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
As a public university, it prioritizes accessibility for Colorado residents, offering lower tuition rates for in-state students. The system is governed by the University of Colorado Board of Regents and contributes significantly to research, receiving over $1 billion annually in sponsored funding.
