The University Located in the historic small town of Golden, at the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just 13 miles west of Denver, Colorado School of Mines has been a state institution since 1874 before Colorado attained statehood, making it the oldest public institution of higher education in the state. Since its founding, Mines has evolved from an institution serving the needs of the local mining industry to an internationally recognized research university offering engineering and applied science degrees through the doctoral level. Mines has the highest admissions standards of any university in Colorado and among the highest of any public university in the U.S. and in 2024 the University was ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the Top 40 Public Schools. Roughly half of Mines' students are Colorado residents and nearly 30% of Mines' students are women and Mines has the largest Society of Women Engineers chapter in the nation. Mines' graduates are distinctive in the workforce and employers frequently point to their ability to get things done, their creativity in solving difficult problems, and how well they work in and lead teams as distinguishing characteristics. With its intimate size, the Mines community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners value inquiry and innovation, inspiration, challenge, collaboration, openness, diversity, respect, compassion and integrity. In addition to a breadth of education and research programs in most fields of science and engineering, Mines is an R1 university and one of a very few institutions in the world having depth in resource exploration, extraction, production and utilization. Research at Mines is use-inspired and strongly linked to its educational mission. Research efforts are conducted in individual labs and across more than 30 centers, which span a wide range of thematic topics including energy, water, resource discovery, production and management, materials, health, and information technology. Mines research enterprise currently attracts about $100 million of external funding per year, with sponsors including private industry, federal agencies, and philanthropic foundations. Mines faculty take advantage of the close proximity to collaborate with partners from neighboring institutions such as the University of Colorado-Boulder and Colorado State University, as well as with nearby agencies such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the U.S. Geological Survey. Mines also benefits from a passionate alumni base and has a strong record of private investment and philanthropic support. After celebrating our 150th birthday this year, Mines will celebrate next year the completion of its Mines@150 campaign that will have raised $500M+ in support of the education and research missions of the university.
