Welcome to the University of Northern Colorado
Picture yourself here in Greeley, Colorado, at the University of Northern Colorado. Where the sun shines more than 300 days a year, rivers convene in the plains of the high desert, and the winters are picturesque. Where campus is big enough that it takes 15 minutes to cross, but it's small enough that you’ll still run into your friends. Where inspiring professors lead our distinctive and distinguished students in undergraduate research.
Picture yourself at UNC. Where you’ll get a truly unique education. It’s just waiting to be customized by you.
