Our strategic planning process has led us to a new shared vision for transforming CU-Boulder into one of the nation’s leading public research universities. The vision includes the contributions of a variety of individuals. At CU-Boulder, we recognize the exceptional opportunities associated with our role as a research university, and we value the unique strength and character research achievements bring to undergraduate education. We are keenly aware of our responsibility for educating the next generation of citizens and leaders, and for fostering the spirit of discovery through research. Indeed, we believe that our students, both graduate and undergraduate, benefit from the comprehensive mix of programs and research excellence that characterize a flagship university. Thus, we believe CU-Boulder’s statutory mission is relevant today and will remain relevant tomorrow. The Boulder campus of the university of Colorado shall be a comprehensive graduate research university with selective admissions standards. The Boulder campus of the university of Colorado shall offer a comprehensive array of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree programs.
