About CAP

The College of Architecture and Planning (CAP) at the University of Colorado Denver is the only college in Colorado offering comprehensive programs in the design and planning of the built environment from undergraduate through accredited professional master's degrees to a doctorate.

We take an interdisciplinary approach to design. This can be seen and experienced through our curriculum, minor and dual degree offerings, certificate programs, and the projects and research of our faculty and students each semester.

We are located in the heart of Downtown Denver. This allows us to be fully immersed in our city's design and planning activities and connects us with some of the top firms in the country. We also embrace the beauty, resources, and outdoor experiences that Colorado, the Front Range communities, and the Rocky Mountains offer.
