Why does CU-Boulder want a diverse student body?
We believe that diversity is essential to the educational mission of the University of Colorado at Boulder and that a diverse student body is a vital element of academic excellence. Interaction among students with varied backgrounds, talents, and achievements in classrooms, laboratories, residences, and extracurricular activities contributes in important ways to learning and to preparation for successful careers. Students who learn in diverse classrooms take that understanding into America’s businesses, government institutions and communities. Corporations, civic and government leaders have a vested interest in our ability to attract and retain a highly qualified and richly diverse student body that will produce the leaders of our global society.
