Overview
The Communication department at University of Colorado Denver is a community of learners, scholars, and teachers who are committed to our shared mission: “cultivating the ability to use communication to create a more equitable and humane world.”
We offer some courses online and others in-person, so the program cannot be completed solely online. Most seminars and required courses are offered in-person on weekday evenings (Mondays-Thursdays) 5:00 pm - 7:50pm, while electives are typically offered during weekdays or as asynchronous online courses.
