About this School
The University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-Boulder, UCB officially; Colorado, CU colloquially) is the flagship university of the University of Colorado system. CU has produced a number of astronauts, Nobel laureates, and other notable individuals in their fields. It is known as one of the Public Ivies. The January 2004 edition of The Economist ranked CU as the 11th-best public university in the world and 31st best university globally for 2003. The U.S. News and World Report currently ranks the university 78th in the nation overall (private institutions included) and 34th best among public universities. In 2004, Carl Wieman was named U.S. Professor of the Year.
 
History
In March 14, 1876, the Colorado state legislature passed an amendment to state constitution which provided for the establishment of the University of Colorado in Boulder, the Colorado School of Mines in Golden and an Agricultural College in Fort Collins, which would later become Colorado State University. The cornerstone of the building that would become Old Main was laid September 20, 1875. The doors of the university opened on September 5, 1877. At the time there were few high schools in the state that could adequately prepare students for university work, so in addition to the University, a preparatory school was formed on campus. In the fall of 1877, the student body consisted of 15 students in the college proper and 50 students in the preparatory school. There were 38 men and 27 women, and their ages ranged from 12-23 years.
