About This School

University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus is a public institution located in Denver, Colorado with approximately 10,686 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 78%. The average net price after financial aid is $19,133 per year. The graduation rate is 47%, and the typical graduate earns $71,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 47% graduation rate and 71% freshman retention rate suggest that many students struggle to finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. That said, if you do complete your degree, the outlook is solid — median earnings of $71,200 at 10 years and a relatively low median debt of $14,500 make the $19,133/year net price a reasonable investment. This is a strong option for motivated, self-directed students drawn to Denver's healthcare and business ecosystem, but those who need strong academic support structures may want to look carefully at whether this environment is the right fit.
