Profiles is a compilation of information about the University of Denver – its faculty, programs,
students, facilities, and finances – that has been published every year since 1981.
Profiles contains information organized in sections: General University, Admission, Financial Aid
and Scholarships, Enrollment, Persistence, Study Abroad, Courses and Credit Hours, Programs and
Degrees, Faculty and Staff, and Financial Data. A brief narrative introduces each section.
Additional information will be added as the information becomes available.
Because Profiles is an official record of the University’s activities and serves as the source of data
for external reporting as well as internal documentation and planning, accuracy is of crucial
importance. Occasionally, errors are discovered and adjustments are made in subsequent editions of
the publication. Each edition of Profiles reflects changes made during the year. Therefore, you
should refer to the most recent volume of Profiles for both current and historical data.
Profiles is prepared by the Office of Institutional Research. I thank our colleagues in that office and
all of you on campus who helped to gather the information presented in this document. If you have
any questions about data integrity or interpretation, please direct them to the Office of Institutional
Research at 303-871-2287.
We hope that you will find this edition of Profiles useful. Please let us know if you have any
suggestions for change or improvement.

Financial Aid Summary: Fiscal Year 2010
DU awarded more than $36 million in need-based, institutionally funded scholarships and
grants in 2009-10.
Nearly 100% of full-time undergraduate students who were determined to have financial
need were awarded financial aid. The average aid awarded to these students was $28,195.
Between 6% and 20% of full-time first-year undergraduates at our peer institutions were Pell
grant recipients in 2008-09 (this is the most current information.) In comparison, 12% of
DU’s full-time first-year undergraduates were Pell grant recipients.
The average debt load (excluding parent loans) of undergraduate students in the 2009-10
graduating class was $25,578. The average undergraduate debt declined slightly from 2008-
09 to 2009-10.

*Non-need-based aid used to meet need is counted in this category. For example, a needy student earns a
Chancellor's scholarship based on his/her Admission Rating. This merit scholarship is used to meet his/her financial
need, and therefore is counted as a need-based award. If the student did not have financial need, the scholarship
would be counted in the non-need-based column.

Collection year
The collection year is the academic year in which IPEDS data were collected. Most Institutional
Characteristics, Salaries, Fall Staff, Fall Enrollment, and Employees by Assigned Position data
are collected for the current year; Completions, 12-Month Enrollment, Student Financial Aid,
and Finance data collections cover the prior year.
Early decision
Early decision is a plan that allows students to apply and be notified of an admission decision
(and financial aid offer, if applicable) well in advance of the regular notification date. Applicants
agree to accept an offer of admission and, if admitted, to withdraw their applications from other
colleges. There are three possible decisions in response to such an application: admitted, denied,
or not admitted but forwarded for consideration with the regular applicant pool, without
prejudice.
Federal grants
Federal grants are transfers of money or property from the Federal government to the education
institution without a requirement to receive anything in return. These grants may take the form of
grants to the institutions to undertake research or they may be in the form of student financial
aid.
Fellowships
These are grants-in-aid and trainee stipends to graduate students. Fellowships do not include
funds for which services to the institution must be rendered, such as payments for teaching, or
loans.
Loans to students
Loans to students are any monies that must be repaid to the lending institution for which the
student is the designated borrower. Includes all Title IV subsidized and unsubsidized loans and
all institutionally- and privately-sponsored loans. Does not include PLUS and other loans made
directly to parents.
Local grants
These are local monies awarded to the institution under local government student aid programs.
Other expenses
Other expenses are the amount of money (estimated by the financial aid office) needed by a
student to cover expenses such as laundry, transportation, and entertainment.
Scholarships
These are grants-in-aid, trainee stipends, tuition and required fee waivers, prizes or other
monetary awards given to undergraduate students.
Source: IPEDS
At the end of the term, 5,455 undergraduate students were enrolled and 6,387 graduate
students were enrolled. Undergraduate students represent 46% of total collegiate enrollment
while graduate students represents 54%.
The most popular majors of undergraduate students are biology, international studies,
finance, psychology, and international business.
The undergraduate student/faculty ratio is 9 to 1.
While 19% of undergraduate students identified themselves as racial/ethnic minorities, 15%
of graduate students identified themselves as racial/ethnic minorities.
Nearly half (46%) of first-time, first-year students are Colorado residents.
At the graduate level, 66% of students are enrolled in master’s programs, 15% of students are
enrolled in the Juris Doctor program, 11% are enrolled in doctoral programs, and the
remaining 8% are enrolled in certificate, specialist, or non-degree programs.

Undergraduate Student to Faculty Ratio
Fall 2006 through Fall 2009
Notes: The Women's College and University College students are excluded. The
undergraduate student to faculty ratio is calculated using the Common Data Set methodology:
ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent
instructional faculty (full time plus 1/3 part time). In the ratio calculations, faculty and students
in stand-alone graduate or professional programs (such as social work, education, professional
psychology, and law) are excluded. Teaching assistants are not counted as faculty.

Notes:
While pursuing a comprehensive liberal arts background in the Core Curriculum, Undergraduate Studies
students also begin substantive work in their major area of interest. Once students have declared a
major, they are counted in the division where that major resides. Undergraduate Studies students who
have not yet declared a major and non-degree students enrolled in traditional undergraduate courses are
counted as Other Undergraduate Studies Students in census enrollment reports.
For Fall 2010, Daniels College of Business began using a secondary admission progcess for its
undergraduate students, thus explaining the decrease in DCB enrollment and the creation of the
Undeclared Business Interest field.

Persistence rates are based on the first-time, full-time, degree seeking cohort of students who
enter each fall. The most recent one-year persistence rate is 87.9% based on week three
census dates.
There are no differences in the one-year persistence rates based on gender, geographic
region, or financial aid need status.
Persistence rates have remained steady during the past five years, with no statistically
significant changes in the one-year persistence rate for the first-time, full-time, degree
seeking cohort.
Not surprisingly, students who are on probation as a result of earning low G.P.A.s (less than
2.0) are much less likely to persist than students who earn G.P.A.s of 3.0 or greater.

Notes:
Cohorts represented here were taken at end of term, as reported to IPEDS.
Persistence is defined as each one-year change in enrolled plus graduated students as a percentage of the
original entering class.
Entering student cohorts for Fall 2004-2006 have been reduced because of IPEDS Allowable Exclusions.
Per IPEDS definitions; students may be removed from a cohort if they left the institution for one of the
following reasons: died or were totally and permanently disabled; to serve in the armed forces; to serve with
a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the Peace Corps; or to serve on official church
missions. The Fall 2004 cohort has been changed to 1,124 (3 exclusions), and the Fall 2005 cohort has been
changed to 1,089 (1 exclusion).

In September 1981, Iliff and the University of Denver jointly inaugurated a program leading to the Doctor
of Philosophy in Religious and Theological Studies. Although planned and staffed initially by the
faculties from Iliff and the University of Denver's Department of Religious Studies, other faculty from the
graduate Schools of Professional Psychology, Social Work and International Studies and from the
departments of Anthropology, History, Sociology, Political Science, Psychology and Philosophy at the
University are currently involved in the program.
In 1999-2000 the Joint Ph.D. Program was revised to make it more responsive to contemporary
movements in theological and religious studies. It features a combination of three required courses for all
students in the program and a great deal of flexibility and permeability between the subject areas making
up specialized concentrations in the study of religion and theology. The revised structure gives
educational breadth as well as opportunity for specialization.
The program is administered by the Joint Ph.D. Committee. This committee is composed of faculty from
both institutions, along with elected students, and is charged with the formulation and general oversight of
the academic policies and procedures for the program. The director serves as the chief administrative
officer of the program. The Joint Ph.D. office is located on the Iliff campus.
Through the rich resources at Iliff and the University of Denver, facilities are available for persons
interested in disciplines ranging from those associated with pastoral ministries to highly specialized
studies in the major areas of religious and theological scholarship. The holdings of the libraries at Iliff and
the University sustain various research interests. Internet resources are increasingly available for
instruction and research.
The faculties of both institutions have long standing traditions of interest in providing stimulating
teaching, both in seminars and lectures. Moreover, the faculties have established distinguished records in
research and publication. They participate in the national societies of their various disciplines. Research
grants have come frequently to individual faculty members, in turn providing exciting opportunities for
students. Faculty members focus on providing a solid foundation for novice scholars in order that they
may become independent and innovative thinkers in their own right.
In applying for admission, students are required to identify one concentration or combination of
concentrations in which to focus their studies. The Advisory Committees ordinarily consist of two faculty
members from the chosen concentration, and must have one faculty member identified with another
concentration. Students' concentrations, as interpreted by their Advisory Committees, will determine
coursework distribution, areas for comprehensive examinations, and, of course, domains for eventual
dissertation work.
There are currently four concentrations in the Joint Ph.D. Program: Biblical Interpretation; Religion and
Psychological Studies; Religion and Social Change; and Theology, Philosophy, and Cultural Theory.
Additionally, students are required to participate in the Colloquium in Biblical Interpretation (2 or 3 credit
hours) at least once during the coursework phase of their degree program. The Colloquium addresses key
themes, issues, or topics in the field of Biblical Studies.

Notes:
*Writing Program began in Fall 2006.
**In Fall 2004 and 2005 temporary Marsico and Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Core Lecturer positions were represented in this unit. They are now represented in
Arts and Humanities or Social Sciences.
These numbers conform to the AAUP reporting definitions. They include full-time appointed teaching faculty (tenure, tenure track, and term appointments), including
faculty who are on sabbatical leave. Faculty on leave-without-pay are excluded; if their courses are being covered by a full-time replacement the replacement is counted.
Department chairs are included; deans are excluded. Vacant positions are excluded. English Language Center teachers are excluded since that is a pre-collegiate program
(12 in 2009-10). Penrose Librarians (18 in 2009-10) are excluded because they are not teaching faculty. Added to the AAUP population above, this brings the 2009-10
total number of appointed full-time faculty to 641.
