Colorado Mesa University
History of CMU
Colorado Mesa University, in Grand Junction, Colorado is dedicated to providing an exceptional educational experience in a student-centered environment featuring small class sizes and a high level of student-faculty interaction. The school has a long history of growth and evolution. Founded in 1925, the institution originally started as a junior college enrolling 41 students. It was in 1937 that the school was renamed to Mesa College and it was in 1974 the institution began offering bachelor programs. As the school began to develop and change in 1988 the school went through another renaming process and became Mesa State College. Following that in 1996 the institution began offering if first Masters Program. After this under the leadership of President Tim Foster the school continued to expand in both campus size and student enrollment. Finally in 2011 the Board of Trustees and the State of Colorado officially renamed Mesa State College to Colorado Mesa University. The change reflects the growth that the institution has seen over the years and it further advances the institution as a learning community.
Today, enrollment exceeds 9,480 students and the University offers more than 90 undergraduate programs of study along with graduate programs in business administration, education, and nursing. In addition to help achieve its goal in meeting the educational needs of Western Colorado a two-year open admission division, Western Colorado Community College, was created in 2005 offering both technical certificates and associate degrees. The University also has a branch campus in Montrose, Colorado. Campus expansion to accommodate an ever-growing student body has resulted in state-of-the-art learning facilities on 86 acres in the heart of Grand Junction.
With all that has changed in the institution’s 86-year history, the dedication to providing the highest quality education in a student-centered environment has always remained. It is this principle that will continue to guide the momentum of Colorado Mesa University into the future.
About Colorado Mesa University
Founded in 1925, Colorado Mesa University is a comprehensive regional public higher education institution offering liberal arts, professional, and technical programs at the master's, bachelor's, associate and certificate levels.
At Colorado Mesa, we take great pride in providing educational opportunities and tools that help students succeed in today's complex and interconnected world. Our focus is on providing quality academic programs, built on a strong liberal arts core that support students' interests and regional employment needs, as well as technical programs that respond to vocational workforce demands.
Colorado Mesa is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
Our Students
Colorado Mesa University has an enrollment of more than 9,480 students with almost 12 percent of the University's student body coming from outside Colorado. The student population is 54 percent female, 46 percent male, and 20 percent from traditionally underrepresented groups. The vast majority of students - 73 percent - are traditional-aged students and enrolled in full-time study. Many students attend college while also working and caring for families, and Colorado Mesa is proud to offer evening, online and distance education classes that allow non-traditional and working students the opportunity to further their educational attainment and advance in their professions.
Our Faculty
The core of the University is our 218 full-time academic and technical faculty members from 13 departments. Additionally, a team of more than 188 carefully selected scholars and professionals serve as part-time instructors. Our faculty creates an environment designed to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas. In addition to teaching, professors serve as academic advisors and collaborate with hundreds of students each year in challenging undergraduate research programs - an experience often found only in graduate programs.
Our Campuses
Colorado Mesa's main campus encompasses 86 acres in the heart of Grand Junction, Colorado. Nestled between mountains and high-desert canyons, the area is home to some of the best outdoor recreation in the country and enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year.
The Tilman M. Bishop Campus is the result of a partnership of the University, Mesa County Valley School District 51, and area businesses and is the main site of Colorado Mesa’s two-year division: Western Colorado Community College Programs at the Bishop Campus serve the technical education needs of both college and area high school students.
Located at the base of the beautiful San Juan Mountains, the Montrose Campus of Colorado Mesa provides access to a variety of associate and bachelor degree programs in a scenic, smaller community campus setting.

Colorado Mesa University has a strong winning tradition as a member of the NCAA Division II and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Mavericks have more than 72 conference and regional titles. Currently 23 Colorado Mesa teams compete in intercollegiate varsity sports.

Institutional Mission Statement
Committed to a personal approach, Colorado Mesa University is a dynamic learning environment that offers abundant opportunities for students and the larger community to grow intellectually, professionally, and personally.
