Denver & Region
In One of America's Great Cities
When the books close and the computer screens go dark, students turn to the cultural and active life of the Queen City of the Plains.
Denver is one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the United States. It's a thriving metropolis, but still retains the relaxed, friendly culture of its Western heritage. Its diverse population is young and well educated, and the city continues to attract leading industries.
The Art Institute of Colorado is located at the center of this stimulating environment. It is near galleries, museums, and theaters, with the Performing Arts Complex offering live theater, concerts, and dance. The hottest bands and stars perform at the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheater, west of the city.
A one-hour drive finds world-class skiing and water sports, amidst the breathtaking Rocky Mountain scenery. In the mountains, and right in the city as well, opportunities for biking, hiking, rollerblading, and other individual sports abound.
Denver is the home of four major-league sports franchises: the Colorado Rockies of baseball's National League, the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos of the National Football League, the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association, and the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League. Many students make their first career contacts in Denver, at the hub of business for the western United States. Thriving professional organizations, major corporations, high-tech companies, top-notch retail fashion stores, hotels, restaurants, design firms, and many other creative organizations offer chances for professional networking and future employment.
