President's Welcome
Welcome to the University of Northern Colorado and to a community built around exploration, discovery and possibility. As you browse this Academic Catalog, I invite you to imagine the many paths your journey might take. Within these pages, you will find courses, programs and experiences that challenge you to think deeply, create boldly, and engage fully with the world around you.
A university education is about more than choosing a major or completing degree requirements. It is an opportunity to explore new ideas, ask meaningful questions, and discover passions you may not yet know you have. Whether you are drawn to the sciences, humanities, business, education, health professions or the performing and visual arts, UNC provides a place where curiosity is encouraged and creativity flourishes.
Our classrooms, studios, laboratories, rehearsal spaces and performance venues are all part of a learning environment designed to help you connect knowledge with experience. Here, you will learn from dedicated faculty who are committed to your success and who understand that some of life's most important lessons happen through exploration, collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
At UNC, our Students First commitment guides everything we do. We are invested in your growth as a scholar, artist, leader and citizen. We want your time here to be transformative, helping you develop the skills, confidence and perspective needed to pursue your goals and make a meaningful impact in your communities and professions.
As you begin or continue your journey at UNC, I encourage you to explore broadly, embrace new opportunities and remain open to where your curiosity may lead. The experiences you gain here, both inside and beyond the classroom, will help shape the person you become.
Thank you for choosing UNC. I look forward to seeing all that you will discover, create, and achieve.
Go Bears!
Kamel Haddad
Interim President
