Graduate Students

Answering Your Questions
The Graduate School at CU-Boulder provides a wide range of support to graduate students in engineering and across the Boulder campus. Their office can give you information on many topics from financial awards to academic counseling and career services. Visit the Graduate School for more information.

Faculty and students work on a satellite at CU's Laboratory for Atmospheric & Space Physics.

Another great source of information is your graduate department. Any questions regarding academic programs, Teaching Assistant (TA) and Research Assistant (RA) positions, or Fellowship opportunities should be directed to your department.

Other Graduate Student Resources
The United Council of Graduate Students is the governing body for graduate students on the Boulder campus. Students may contact the UGGS Office at 303-492-5068 for information about meeting times and discussion topics.

If you are looking for a place to live on campus be sure to consider Family Housing. CU Family Housing is an excellent choice for families, married couples, and single parents. Family housing apartments are less expensive than most accommodations in the Boulder community and offer many amenities such as high speed internet access. Many even include benefits like expanded cable and local telephone service. The apartment complexes offer onsite laundry facilities, playgrounds, and access to the day care center for housing residents. There are often long waiting lists for these apartments, so be sure to put yourself on the waiting list early! To get on a waiting list, or for more information, contact the Family Housing Office.

International Graduate Studies in Engineering is a certificate program that enhances the Masters of Science, Master of Engineering, and PhD degrees.  Students participate in a research exchange at a European university.  Students must be admitted to a graduate program within the College of Engineering and Applied Science to qualify.

Teacher Training and Professional Development
Of particular interest to many students is the Graduate Teacher Program, which offers professional developmental activities to teaching assistants and graduate part-time instructors. This training helps graduate students attain faculty positions in post-secondary institutions. Students who complete all requirements are eligible for a Graduate School certificate in post-secondary teaching.
