University of Colorado Denver

The Colorado School of Public Health is committed to creating a strong, diverse and well prepared pipeline of future health professionals. We work with local colleges and community groups to target middle school, high school and undergraduate students who are interested in health-based careers. 

Although the Colorado School of Public Health does not offer undergraduate education options to these students, our faculty build strong connections to several undergraduate programs across the state. These, and other programs, prepare students for entry into the school’s graduate level degree programs and entry-level public health positions.
