Our Present
In 45 years, Metro State has grown from its initial enrollment of 1,189 students to today’s student population topping 24,000, making it the institution that educates more undergraduate Coloradoans than any other.
Metro State also stands as the leader in diverse enrollment among Colorado’s four-year colleges, with 5,426 students of color composing nearly 25 percent of our enrollment.Located in downtown Denver, Metro State boasts more than 65,000 alumni and offers 54 major fields of study and 90 minors through its three schools: Business, Letters, Arts and Sciences, and Professional Studies. And in 2010, 45 years after it opened, the College added master’s degree programs to its offerings.
Today, we impact our students and the communities in which they live in countless ways.
- Aviation and Aerospace Science students are soaring high with management level positions at Denver International Airport.
- Hospitality, Tourism and Events students are volunteering their expertise in a variety of settings from homeless shelters and kitchens in the Denver metro area, to luncheons for the governor’s office, to the “Taste of the NFL” at the Super Bowl.
- Management students are providing strategic analysis to local businesses wanting to take their business to the next level.
- Teacher Licensure students are teaching our youth in elementary schools in urban and rural areas throughout the state.
And this is just a start.
