The transition to college is a meaningful and transformative time—for students and their families alike. Every student brings a unique story, and we deeply value the diverse perspectives and important roles that families play in their journey. At the University of Denver, we’re excited to partner with you as your student grows, learns, and thrives. We invite you to explore our supportive programs, access valuable resources designed with families in mind, and join us for engaging on-campus and virtual events.

Why Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences?

As your student pursues a degree in the creative and liberal arts through the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CAHSS), they'll gain valuable skills and critical thinking strategies to help them succeed in a wide range of careers. Whether they choose to major in psychology or music, emergent digital practices or philosophy, they'll develop creative and analytical approaches to thinking and communicating that will empower them to create change in their communities as advocates, artists, writers and entrepreneurs.
