University of Denver Application Process

Accordion Icon V3
Q&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
On Application Process
Q:   What is the University of Denver's admission criteria?
A: 

The University of Denver looks forward to admitting students who are not just academically sound, but are diversely talented and find ways to contribute outside of academia, whether it’s through sports, the arts, community service, employment or student government. DU values extracurricular activities and what the students does outside school as much as value academic grades and scores. Overall, University of Denver's committee takes a holistic approach when it comes to admissions. Students must note that DU does not have any minimum GPA requirements, but all the other admission requirements such as English language requirements (IELTS/TOEFL/Cambridge), Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) and relevant documents must be fulfilled in order to get enrolled in the university.

Sometimes, DU also consider a student’s level of interest in the institution and their overall likelihood to enroll. Interest can be demonstrated in a number of ways, including a virtual or in-person campus visit, connecting with DU at a college fair, attending a high school visit, meeting with the admission counselor or interacting digitally on website or emails.
