CU Online is one of the first fully accredited online education programs, created in 1996 by the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus (CU Denver). With CU Online, the pedagogy of CU Denver faculty has been extended globally, allowing local students as well as international students to partake in the same education.
Initially launching with three online courses, CU Online has expanded its catalog to over 450 CU Denver online courses, with 14 full CU Denver degree programs and 10 certificates that can be completed entirely online. The online courses themselves are considered just another option for CU Denver students, as they offer the same credit and are taught by the same on campus professors. The student-faculty ratio also remains the same for both on campus and online courses (roughly 15:1). In all, there have been 37,096 students from 1996-2009 who have taken online classes at CU Denver.
