About the College of Arts & Media
Mission
Our mission is to effect change by preparing students to successfully pursue their passions.
Our students acquire the skills they need to excel in an academically rigorous, experiential learning environment energized by creative exchange, real-world experience and diversity of voice.
Core Values
Creative Excellence - Academic and artistic rigor, creativity and innovation are bedrock principles of the CAM community and the cornerstone of how we define excellence. As champions of creative excellence in art making and artistic expression we support risk-taking, intellectual freedom and social responsibility.
Discovery - We believe in a culture of shared discovery. Our students learn by doing, and as emerging peers, are important contributors to the knowledge exchange. We value rigorous investigation, critical thinking, diversity, collaboration and invention.
Denver - We are committed to learning both inside and outside the classroom. The accessibility, diversity and cultural energy of Denver make CAM a better place to teach, work and learn. We strive to offer reciprocal experiences to the citizens of this great city and pay it forward by extending our reach and impact in the global community.

Undergraduate Admissions
Students wishing to pursue a CAM degree must be admitted to the University of Colorado Denver. See the Office of Admissions website for application requirements and deadlines. In addition, all Music & Entertainment Industry Studies programs and many Visual Arts programs require a separate application. Students typically submit music applications at the same time as university applications, and Visual Arts applications are usually submitted after students have completed initial course work at CU Denver. Find more details about CAM program application requirements and deadlines in this catalog by selecting the above program links. Music application guidelines and deadlines may also be found at the Music & Entertainment Industry Studies application website.
