Since its launch in September 2015, the space minor program has brought together faculty from across CU Boulder to explore how space intersects with a wide range of disciplines. From engineering and science to policy, media, business and the humanities, the program encourages students to think broadly about space and its impact on society.
The space minor invites faculty to submit proposals for new courses that support and expand the current curriculum. Selected proposals may receive funding and support for future development.
Open to all undergraduate students at CU Boulder, the space minor consists of:
The program is designed to broaden student perspectives on space-related topics, as well as prepare them for careers in space policy, history, communication, science, engineering, and even space-themed media and film
Faculty are encouraged to review previously developed courses to understand the scope and diversity of topics already offered. These examples can help inspire new ideas and ensure proposals complement the current curriculum.
If you have a course idea that aligns with the mission of the space minor, we’d love to hear from you. Proposals should aim to engage students from diverse academic backgrounds, that are undergraduates. For full consideration, proposals should be submitted online by Monday, Oct. 13. The form only takes five minutes to complete. Then, over the semester, the Space Minor Committee will review and select the qualified proposals for funding.
If you have questions about the space minor or course proposal form, email spaceminor@colorado.edu.

Master's students who have not already done so must submit to the Graduate School a Candidacy Application for an Advanced Degree. Applications follow a workflow process and must be approved by the academic department before they are directed to the Graduate School.
Graduate students must apply online to graduate through Buff Portal on the “apply for graduation” card in order to have the degree awarded in December. This is required even though there is no university-wide ceremony. Doctoral students must enter their dissertation title as part of the online graduation application; you may update the title through the portal until this date. This title will appear on your transcript after your degree is awarded.
You will receive compensation for your participation.
The SHINE Lab at CU Boulder is recruiting participants for a cognitive neuroscientific study that aims to understand how people make decisions and judgments about online information and what makes them more susceptible to making errors. The study will use several surveys and computer-based tasks to study this. Brain activity and eye-tracking data will be collected during these tasks. If you do not want your data to be recorded, you may decide not to participate in this study at any time.
Who can join this study:
Who cannot join this study:
Where:
Center for Innovation and Creativity (CINC), Room 184E
1777 Exposition Drive, Boulder, CO 80301
(This room is inaccessible without a key; someone will meet you in the lobby.)
Details: You will be asked to complete some surveys for $15, which will take no more than a half hour, and then to complete some computer tasks ($30), which will take no more than one hour.
While there are no direct benefits to you as a participant, you will gain a unique look at how cognitive neuroscience research is conducted all while having fun! There may be some minor discomfort after wearing the fNIRS cap for more than two hours. As with any research, there is some possibility of risks that have not yet been identified. Please register for an experiment slot.
