The official name of the school is the University of Colorado, Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus. The University of Colorado, Denver (UC Denver) is located in downtown Denver, on the Auraria Campus. The Anschutz Medical Campus is in Aurora, roughly ten miles away.
The two campuses enroll over 27,000 students, and UC Denver grants more graduate degrees than any other school in Colorado. With an annual research budget of more than $370 million, it is the largest research institution in the state.
The Anschutz Medical Campus is home to the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH), which provides health care to a half a million patients each year. Together, UC Denver and UCH are one of the largest employers in the Denver metropolitan area, with over 12,000 employees.
In 2004, the formerly named University of Colorado at Denver and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center were officially merged to become the University of Colorado Denver / Anschutz Medical Campus.
In addition to the Denver campus, the University of Colorado has a campus in Boulder, known as University of Colorado, Boulder, CU-Boulder, CU, or Boulder. It is the flagship research university of the University of Colorado system. This public university has been recognized as one of thirty “Public Ivy League” higher education institutions in the United States.
