The University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-Boulder), a major research and teaching university, is a dynamic community of scholars and learners situated on a beautiful campus at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. CU-Boulder is one of 34 U.S. public institutions belonging to the prestigious Association of American Universities and the only member in the Rocky Mountain region. The university has a proud academic tradition, with four Nobel laureates, seven MacArthur genius grant recipients, and 86 Fulbright scholars since 1982. The university received more than $266 million in sponsored research funding during the 2007 fiscal year. Faculty members bring their research into the classroom in areas such as physics, space sciences, and the American West. CU-Boulder also was included among the best U.S. universities for service learning and civic activism in Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement, published in June 2005, and produced 100 Peace Corps volunteers in 2007, the third most among all U.S. colleges and universities. CU-Boulder offers more than 3,400 courses in approximately 150 areas of study and 85 majors at the bachelors level. Undergraduates apply to the following colleges and schools: Architecture and Planning, Arts and Sciences, Leeds School of Business, Engineering and Applied Science, Music, Journalism and Mass Communication, and Education. University facilities include an observatory, planetarium, mountain research station, and a hands-on teaching and learning laboratory for engineering. Outstanding departments and programs include astrophysical and planetary sciences, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, engineering, English, business entrepreneurship, geography, integrative physiology, law, music, physics, and psychology. Undergraduate specialty programs in aerospace engineering, business entrepreneurship, and civil engineering ranked in the top 20 nationally in U.S. News & World Report's 2007 America's Best Colleges issue. Talented undergraduate students participate in a variety of enrichment opportunities on campus, including honors programs, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, and 10 residential academic programs that offer specialized living and learning communities featuring top faculty and small-class environments. The student population comes from every state in the nation and about 100 countries. Many ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds are represented, fostering a multicultural community that enriches the educational experience of each student. Students from diverse backgrounds may receive academic, personal, and financial support through one of the CU-Lead (leadership, excellence, achievement, and diversity) alliance programs housed in various colleges and departments. The Study Abroad Office administers 185 CU-Boulder-sponsored programs in more than 65 countries around the world with more than 1,000 students participating annually. In addition to outstanding academic programs, CU-Boulder competes in 14 intercollegiate sports at the Division I level and is a member of the Big 12 Conference. Men's and women's teams in cross-country and skiing have recently won national titles. The university maintains one of the largest club sports programs in the nation, supporting more than 30 intercollegiate teams in sports such as cycling, ice hockey, lacrosse, swimming/diving, triathlon, and ultimate Frisbee. The campus also offers art galleries, a natural history museum, theaters, concert halls, and an extensive calendar of social and cultural events, highlighted by the annual Conference on World Affairs, musical performances by the Grammy Award-winning Takacs Quartet, and the world-renowned Colorado Shakespeare Festival.
