Founded in 1925, Colorado Mesa University is a comprehensive regional public higher education institution offering liberal arts, professional, and technical programs at the master's, bachelor's, associate and certificate levels.
Our Students
Colorado Mesa University has an enrollment of more than 9,480 students with almost 12 percent of the University's student body coming from outside Colorado. The student population is 54 percent female, 46 percent male, and 20 percent from traditionally underrepresented groups. The vast majority of students - 73 percent - are traditional-aged students and enrolled in full-time study. Many students attend college while also working and caring for families, and Colorado Mesa is proud to offer evening, online and distance education classes that allow non-traditional and working students the opportunity to further their educational attainment and advance in their professions.
Our Faculty
The core of the University is our 218 full-time academic and technical faculty members from 13 departments. Additionally, a team of more than 188 carefully selected scholars and professionals serve as part-time instructors. Our faculty creates an environment designed to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas. In addition to teaching, professors serve as academic advisors and collaborate with hundreds of students each year in challenging undergraduate research programs - an experience often found only in graduate programs.
Our Campuses
Colorado Mesa's main campus encompasses 86 acres in the heart of Grand Junction, Colorado. Nestled between mountains and high-desert canyons, the area is home to some of the best outdoor recreation in the country and enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year.
Located at the base of the beautiful San Juan Mountains, the Montrose Campus of Colorado Mesa provides access to a variety of associate and bachelor degree programs in a scenic, smaller community campus setting.
Colorado Mesa University is committed to making your international experience exceptional. Home to students from more than 25 nations, international students bring wonderful diversity to our campus. Their cultures and life experiences offer unique perspectives of the world. These views enrich the classroom and social experiences of all students at Colorado Mesa University. Many clubs, organizations and services are available on campus to help international students develop friendships and a sense of belonging, including the Office of International Education and the International Student Association (ISA).
