Colorado Mesa University (CMU or Mesa) is a public university in Grand Junction, Colorado, United States. Originally established in 1925 as Grand Junction Junior College, the school was renamed to Mesa College in 1940. The college began offering bachelor's degrees in 1974, and in 1988, changed its name to Mesa State College to reflect its growing educational programs. In 2011, the school officially attained university status and adopted the name Colorado Mesa University.[5]
CMU's main campus sits on 141 acres (57 ha) in central Grand Junction. CMU's branch campuses include the Bishop Campus, which houses CMU Tech in northwestern Grand Junction, a CMU Tech community campus in Clifton, and a regional campus in Montrose, about 60 miles (97 km) southeast of Grand Junction.[6][7][8] The university offers over 100 undergraduate programs and 11 postgraduate programs across 13 academic departments.[9] Colorado Mesa University enrolled nearly 9,000 students in fall 2023, making it the largest university in western Colorado, as well as the largest university in the state outside of the Front Range Urban Corridor.
Colorado Mesa's athletic teams, known as the Mavericks, compete at the NCAA Division II level as members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Mavericks have won 70 RMAC regular season titles across the school's 26 NCAA sports.[10]
