About University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus

University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus is a public university located in Denver, Colorado, with an enrollment of approximately 10,519 students. The school admits a broad range of applicants โ€” its 74.7% acceptance rate means that roughly three in four people who apply are offered admission.

In-state tuition is $10,383 per year, and out-of-state tuition is $29,391 per year. The average annual net price โ€” the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied โ€” is $11,900. That figure suggests many students receive aid that meaningfully offsets overall costs. About 26.2% of students receive Pell grants, a federal aid program for students with financial need.

Among students who complete a program and borrow federal loans, the median loan debt is $20,500. About 24.3% of all enrolled students take out federal student loans โ€” meaning a majority do not borrow federally. Of those who do borrow, 60.1% are actively reducing their loan balance within three years of entering repayment, indicating that most borrowers are making progress on their debt.

The university's graduation rate is 46.2%, meaning fewer than half of entering students complete a credential within the standard measurement window. The retention rate โ€” the share of first-year students who return for a second year โ€” is 72.7%. Median earnings, measured ten years after enrollment, are $64,270. This figure covers all federally-aided students who enrolled, including those who did not complete a credential, so it reflects a broad range of outcomes rather than graduate earnings alone.

Among the programs available, the university offers coursework relevant to library science, which may be of interest to adults pursuing careers as librarians or in related information services fields.
