Did you know you can earn a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder engineering degree on the other side of Colorado?

Through partnerships with in Gunnison and in Grand Junction, students can graduate from Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s College of Engineering and Applied Science while enjoying a different flavor of Colorado—but with the same high-quality experience of Boulder Engineering.

Maybe you missed the Boulder application deadline or decided Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØwas too far from home. Maybe you didn’t get the news you wanted from admissions this winter, or maybe you prefer the lifestyle in western Colorado to the Denver skyline or intricacies of Boulder's Pearl Street.

Whatever the reason, I’m here to tell you that you can still become an engineer—a great engineer. In fact, you can still become a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder engineer. Best of all, you can still apply for admission this fall to two great programs on the Western Slope of Colorado.

The CMU and WÂ鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØprograms operate under a similar structure. You’ll take your first two years of courses with faculty at your home university, then complete your degree with Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder faculty who live permanently in Grand Junction or Gunnison. You’ll be eligible for scholarships from each institution, including full-tuition scholarships based on academic eligibility at Western Colorado University.

As a student in either partnership program, you can expect hands-on engineering projects starting your first year and personalized attention from faculty members who care. When you graduate with a prestigious Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder degree—ranked No. 17 in the nation among public universities—you’ll join a network of more than 40,000 alumni and dozens of industry partners who can help you make the leap into a fulfilling and profitable career.

Whether you earn your degree in Boulder, Gunnison or Grand Junction, you will graduate as a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder engineer from one of our great programs and be on your way to engineering solutions to drive the economy, security and quality of life of our state, nation and world.

Bobby Braun is dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder.
