We calculated a Salary Score for each of MSU Denver's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at MSU Denver to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program.

MSU Denver is an okay college . If your main goal is to save some money or work frequently while attending college this is for you ! It honestly won’t be my first choice because of the location ( moderate crime area ) . However the college of business is stellar ! The teachers are awesome but use rate my professor. The curriculum wasn’t too bad. There are also free food opportunities and great ways to get involved . The other downsides is parking is expensive and the light rail was 150 dollars per semester...

Money grubbing school. You'll get charged an arm and a leg for parking over your time here. At least a few thousand dollars. I had counselors give me advice that resulted in having to retake classes I already completed, and the teaching was god awful all around. Terrible school.
