Preparing for the Class of 2024

In just two months, we will welcome the new class of approximately 1,460 first-year students to the University of Denver — the Class of 2024.

The staff and admission counselors from Undergraduate Admission have worked diligently over the past year to evaluate applications from more than 22,000 prospective students. Several months are then spent evaluating all applicants to ensure that DU is admitting the right mix of students.

• 26% are students of color.
• 16% are first-generation students.
