Professors

Alumni

I think UNC is a good school, though I’ve never attended an in person class. My research class I took was well structured and I learned a lot. I’m excited to go full time starting next year after my time at Aims.

Current Student

Great music school environment, good graduate/undergrad ratio and interaction. Affordable. Access to Recording Studio at a student rate was great.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

As a sophomore at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), I am thrilled to share my positive experience at this remarkable institution. From the moment I set foot on campus, I felt welcomed and supported by both faculty and fellow students. The sense of community here is truly unparalleled.

Alumni

Very unsupportive staff all around. Would not recommend it to anyone! Would not recommend the school for anyone. Look at how many interims there are among the staff....there is constant change over which is a strong indication of unhappy staff who get no support from their higher ups.

Current Student

I have really enjoyed my experience at UNC. I love the small class sizes and how much all the faculty cares about their students. The dorms are really nice and the dining hall food is pretty decent for a college campus.
