An identity of collaboration

To stand at the forefront of a changing world, you will need the passion and identity of a collaborator and innovator. At the Colorado School of Public Health we hold both. As an accredited, collaborative school of public health, we stand ready to create healthier futures, build stronger partnerships and steward shared resources for the betterment and health of communities in Colorado and around the world.

As a collaboration of the University of Colorado, Colorado State University and the University of Northern Colorado, we are redefining the identity of public health to be an identity of collaboration.

Across Colorado you’ll find our research teams in schools working hand in hand with teachers to improve the health of local youth; our students learning firsthand about disaster response and emergency preparedness, worker safety, and more; and our staff at local nonprofits working to advance our mission of health in the classroom and community.
