Master's Showcase
Join us each spring semester for this virtual event to learn more about master's offerings through the CU Anschutz Graduate School.
Commencement and Convocation
The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus holds Spring Commencement in May and a Fall Commencement in December. The CU Anschutz Graduate School convocation is a separate ceremony held immediately after the main campus commencement. Unlike the main commencement where graduates from all schools and colleges participate, the Graduate School convocation is a private event held specifically to honor graduates from the Graduate School masters and doctoral programs.
Three Minute Thesis
Inspired by the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) at the University of Queensland, the Graduate School’s competition is held once a year in the fall. Doctoral students from all disciplines take turns presenting their thesis in 3 minutes using only 1 PowerPoint slide. Presenters are judged by a panel and are scored based on their ability to articulate their material in lay terms. The winner of the university-wide 3MT competition competes at the annual meeting of the Western Association of Graduate Schools and the Colorado Statewide Competition. Cash prizes are awarded to the winners.
