Change the World, Your Way 

The Colorado School of Public Health (ColoradoSPH) is one of the only tri-institutional public health schools in the country. We leverage the power of three leading institutions —the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), the University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz Medical Campus, and Colorado State University (CSU)— to advance public health locally, nationally, and globally. Each of our three universities offer different programs and cultures.
