Visit Our Campus

Visit Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado!

The Boulder foothills. The Naropa bow. The students following academic and spiritual paths to become therapists, teachers, artists, entrepreneurs, and social activists.

Naropa doesn't look, feel, or act like any liberal arts college you've ever experienced. That's why you need to visit.

As a university that values individual growth and exploration, we can customize a visit to your interests. Observe a class. Chat one-on-one with a professor in your field. Tour our campuses. Talk to current students. Walk Boulder's Pearl Street Mall. Experience the beauty of Colorado's mountains.

Information Sessions

When you visit Naropa, we recommend that you meet with an admissions counselor for an information session to answer all of your specific questions. This is a great one-on-one opportunity for you to get the information you need and to learn more about our academic offerings and admission requirements. Our counselors are also happy to discuss other considerations that may be of interest to you, such as life in Boulder and financing a Naropa University education. Information sessions last between fifteen minutes to one hour, and counselors are available Monday through Friday. If you are unable to travel to Naropa's campuses, you may also have an information session by phone.

Class Visits

Visiting a class is often the best way to experience the benefits of Naropa's contemplative education. While there will be some times of the year when classes are unavailable for visitation (such as during final exams and campus holidays), we work closely with our faculty to enable our prospective students to sit in on classes within their academic interests, speak with current students, and have meetings with professors.
