Masters Program
Masters Program serves as a way to connect alumni directly with current DU students. Successful alumni professionals are nominated and selected by their divisions to be “master scholars.” These alumni are then invited to participate in lectures or teach courses during a regular day in the academic schedule of their department. Through direct contact with faculty and student groups, alumni share their expertise and insights on various career fields. The scholars also serve on one of two University-wide panels where they present information about their career paths to alumni and students from a variety of departments. Masters Program allows students to learn about the different ways a University of Denver education can be applied in the years after college, and offers alumni an opportunity for lifelong learning.
