The initiative will create opportunities for students and provide greater access to an education that is both academically rigorous and closely connected to the world of work,” said Ashwin Damera, co-founder and CEO of Emeritus. Hyderabad: India is set to get its first public American university, with the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) receiving a Letter of Intent (LoI) from the University Grants Commission (UGC) to establish a campus in Hyderabad. “This marks an important step in bringing globally relevant education closer to students in India.
CU Denver’s focus on applied learning, interdisciplinary education and career readiness is particularly relevant to the aspirations of today’s students and the needs of a rapidly evolving workforce.
The Hyderabad campus will be the first campus of a foreign university in Telangana and is expected to welcome its first batch of students in Aug 2027.
The India campus will build on CU Denver’s strengths as a public urban research university, with an emphasis on academic quality, student outcomes, applied learning, social mobility and workforce relevance, according to university officials. However, the university is yet to finalise the location of the campus.
