4D Student Experience

As detailed in Transformative Direction One, DU aspires to be an intellectual, intentional and engaged academic community that cultivates critical thinking, knowledge and ethical leadership to prepare undergraduate, graduate and professional students to chart their own future and contribute to and serve the public good. While at DU, students will transform their views of the world, explore their character, develop practices of well-being, and learn rigorous intellectual and practical skills.

Through integrating intellectual growth, career development, character exploration, and well-being, students will co-create their DU experience by intentionally building pathways through DU that connect students’ passions and purpose to their co-curricular and academic experiences.

We are encouraging academic engagement by supporting students holistically in their personal and career development. At DU, students will acquire the skills they need to navigate their lives and careers by focusing on their strengths and taking charge of their educational journeys.
