Expert Professors. Unparalleled Education.
Did you know that 92% of our classes are taught by faculty rather than graduate students?
Our award-winning faculty prepare students for wherever they want to go after graduate.
By choosing to study at a four-year, public research university like University of
Northern Colorado, students can focus on advancing their education and career alongside
faculty who have a passion for teaching and mentoring students.
Our faculty know much more about students than their name. They know their career
goals and aspirations. They encourage them to dream big.
With 41% of our students first in their families to attend college, we know what students need to be supported and successful. We meet students where they are. UNC offers extensive academic success programs and services, such as our Writing Center, Tutoring Center, Math Study Center, Counseling Center, seven cultural resource centers, wellness programs and more.
Unwavering Committment to Student Success
Our professors are passionate teachers dedicated to fostering opportunities for their students to learn, grow, question and explore without limits.
Here, students are encouraged to pursue their passion with purpose to identify their goals, build their personal network and find their path. Our students benefit from small class sizes for a personalized and memorable experience in a culturally rich learning environment. Our 14:1 student-faculty ratio means professors have time to focus on each student's learning, development and success.
As a result, students learn better and acquire more skills and tools to build a successful career to achieve their big dreams.
It's amazing where one decision can take you. When students make the decision to attend
the University of Northern Colorado, it is not only a good decision academically and
financially, it’s an experience that lasts a lifetime and can transform lives. UNC
graduates go on to have a positive impact on their communities as leaders, teachers, artists, healthcare
practitioners, scientists, business professionals, researchers and so much more.
