University of Denver Reviews

"Facilities are nice and new, however, I don't think it was worth it to attend. I wish I would have selected a state school instead to avoid debt. My program was heavily reliant on adjuncts who were unprepared. Basic educational needs, such as consistent Internet or technology to access resources was pretty bad. I got what I needed, got a degree and got a job, but if I could go back in time, I would not choose it again."

"I chose University of Denver (DU) for its reputable Executive MBA program. The faculty are best part of the program with their availability to help students learn. The unique process for cohorts to choose their international trip destinations and several in-class exercises provide us with real life teamwork experiences. Choosing University of Denver's EMBA program has been one of the best decisions in investing in my career/education."

"My program was more about interpersonal work than individual effort. DU is a nice school for grad students. It isn't as well-known out of state as it feels when you live in Colorado. It is very expensive and maybe not worth the money/loans if you aren't getting a degree that will lead to a high-paying job (ex. law school.)"

"Professors are very knowledgable in their respective fields. Most class sizes are small, approximately 15-30 people with the exception being introductory classes (i.e., introduction to psychology, introduction to sociology, etc.) which are approximately 100 individuals."

"The University of Denver, Sturm College of Law is gaining momentum in Experiential Advantage, clinics for persons who cannot afford an attorney, and national recognition. We're climbing the US News rank every year in at least one category. Our bar passage rate is up, and will likely continue to stay up. I think the school could use a little renovation on some of its courses -- certain theory courses could be altered towards Experiential Advantage, for instance. The workload is high, but that's the case for anyone going to law school who wants to stand out. The community at large is wonderful, but there is a herd-mentality sometimes. It happens when you practically live in the law building. I'm very glad that I'm attending Sturm College of Law, because I feel I am mostly getting the education that I want."

"Daniels College of Business is an exceptional program. The professors are the most caring, supportive, and knowledgeable professors I have had and this is my second masters degree. In addition to excellent in-class courses, each cohort experiences a four day sailing trip that creatively teaches us about teamwork awareness. Daniels uniquely creates a loose framework that allows us students to go through the group decision making process on deciding where we go on our eleven day International Business trip. Daniels teaches real-time lessons that we implement in our companies the next day. I highly recommend Daniels to others."

"I don't regret getting my master's degree, but I'm not sure that I got the value that I paid for. About 65% of my professors were completely competent to teach at the graduate level. The course content was relevant and helpful in preparing me for my career about 60% of the time."

"It was a good school, but maybe not worth how expensive it was."

"I love the University of Denver - "A private university dedicated to the public good." It is a respected school in a beautiful setting. I made lifelong friends at DU and met my husband there. Ecological Economics was one of my favorite classes in the Department of Geography. One of my professors connected me with an opportunity at the U.S. Forest Service, and I was able to spend a summer doing field work in Wyoming. DU has an impressive study abroad program. I didn't necessarily plan to study abroad when I was looking at universities, but I am so thankful DU encourages their students to do so. They make the process easy! I spent a semester in Germany, and it was one of the best experiences I had in college."

"The Korbel School was decent. The University as a whole is not great in my opinion. Not too much in the way of diversity among the undergrads. The few minorities that are there are basically forced to be incredibly vocal on race issues instead of just enjoying their experience. The University is starting to play judge, jury, and executioner as a flawed response to sexual assault problems. Location within Denver is not ideal. If you're dead set on Colorado go for CU Boulder or Colorado College."

"Generally a great school with a rigorous program."

"I think the graduate program offers a variety of interesting classes and dual program opportunities, but the cost of attendance is pretty high."

"After my first year in the graduate program for Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, I can genuinely acknowledge the extent of my learning. The assignments given in this program are thought-provoking and relevant. I have grown so much as a leader within education."

"The Executive MBA program has contributed to significant changes in my professional and personal life for the better. Daniels has taken this program to a very high level."

"Fantastic school with a ton of support and resources for every student. They WANT you to succeed here."

"My experience with the staff has been outstanding and I look forward to being able to complete more classes and my MSW in 2017!"

"Pros: It's an amazing applied graduate program that truly prepares me for a career in sport and performance psychology. Cons: The school is very expensive."

"I think that the RMS is a wonderful program because it's so versatile. The skill set you learn in this program sets you up to work in a variety of different areas both inside and outside of education."

"The University of Denver really prepared me with a competitive edge for the career world. However, I did not get very much help looking for a career or towards the next step in my education or work."

"The Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver is an absolute great program and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a master's program in the Denver/Metro area. This scholarship would help me immensely because of the current debt I have. The University of Denver does have its' pros and cons however the workload is manageable and the professors are willing to meet with you any time you need. The private instiution tuition is a little hard to manage but overall, it is a beautiful campus and a wonderful place to be."
