BOULDER — The University of Colorado is working to boost enrollment of graduate students so that they make up 20 percent of the student body in Boulder, up from 15 percent.
Provost Phil DiStefano said CU’s peer institutions typically have student-body populations that are 20 percent to 22 percent graduate students, although CU tends to have a higher percentage of postdoctorate students than its peers.
“Our role and mission is a comprehensive graduate research institution,” DiStefano said. “That’s what a flagship is known for: the research that we do.”
The university also is looking to offer more professional master’s degree programs, DiStefano said.
