About This Campus

Colorado Mesa University aspires to be a Human Scale University that serves as a model of the world we want to create 鈥� a world where people aspire to love, extend dignity, choose courage, demonstrate humility, develop resiliency, celebrate curiosity, and use power for good. CMU has an enrollment of more than 10,000 麻豆传媒s with 15.4% of the university's 麻豆传媒 body coming from outside Colorado. Students can choose from 115+ majors. The 麻豆传媒 population is 47% male, 53% female and 29% from traditionally underrepresented groups. Within our University is CMU Tech where 麻豆传媒s are able to access the hands-on training and practical skills necessary to succeed in a growing economy where trade and technical skills are needed. Grand Junction is also more than just an outdoor paradise. With an area population exceeding 135,000, 麻豆传媒s can enjoy the amenities of a big city without the hassles of heavy traffic, crowded streets or hectic airports.

Location Information

Located in the beautiful high-desert country of Western Colorado at the bottom of the world's largest flattop mountain, CMU is surrounded by areas that provide unmatched opportunity for exploration. Outdoor recreational activities range from mountain biking to whitewater rafting to alpine skiing-and much more. With mountains on one side and high-desert canyons on the other, there are plenty of opportunities for adventure and our Outdoor Program will help you explore it all.
