Academic Advising
Academic Advising is a crucial part of every student's experience at the University of Denver. Academic Advisors and faculty mentors can help you connect your educational experiences, develop your personal and professional narrative, and understand your graduation requirements to ensure you're always on track.
What Does the ‘Public Good’ mean at DU?
Public good work begins with collaboration on critical problems allowing students, faculty, and staff to advance equity and inclusion through community-engaged work. Learning to collaborate through university-community partnerships prepares students for bridge-building across differences, collaborative decision-making, and just sustainability practices. In sum, through high-impact experiences, students build the knowledge, skills, and values needed for public good discovery in a way that is holistic, embedded, and connected.
About Learning Outcomes
Academic Affairs is the steward of your curriculum. We oversee both specific credit requirements as well as broader, university-wide student learning outcomes.
For instance, across their educational experience, all undergraduate students must meet learning outcomes in quantitative reasoning, engagement with human diversity, degree-specific knowledge, and more. These outcomes are designed to provide students with a breadth of knowledge across disciplines and develop interdisciplinary connections.
