The University of Colorado Boulder was chartered on March 14, 1876, five months before Colorado became a state, and opened to students in 1877. Old Main from 1876 is the oldest building on a 786-acre campus built in a Tuscan Vernacular Revival style. It is the flagship of the CU system, a member of the Association of American Universities and classified R1. Fall 2025 enrollment was about 38,800, including roughly 32,500 undergraduates, taught by about 3,600 faculty. Nine colleges and schools offer more than 150 academic programs. Faculty, alumni and researchers include 12 Nobel laureates, 10 Pulitzer Prize winners and 20 astronauts, and two U.S. Supreme Court justices are alumni. The Colorado Buffaloes compete in the Big 12 Conference, have won 28 national championships, mostly in skiing and cross country, and run out behind Ralphie, a live bison. The motto is Let your light shine.
