Miramontes Arts & Sciences Program

Welcome to MASP!

The Miramontes Arts & Sciences Program (MASP) is a multidisciplinary, inclusive academic community in the College of Arts and Sciences comprised of engaged students dedicated to pursuing academic excellence at Âé¶¹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder. Our MASP community is dedicated to advancing equity and belonging, and we work to acknowledge and directly address conditions that have created disparate outcomes for undergraduate students at Âé¶¹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder, including outcomes experienced by first-generation students, those from rural or small towns, low-income students and others historically excluded from higher education.ÌýÌý

Towards this mission, MASP cultivates a collaborative and engaged environment by providing students with a dedicated space on campus, faculty- and peer-mentorship, small seminar classes, community activities, accessible resources and scholarship funding. Through these resources, students have the opportunity to bond as a cohort, develop their cultural competencies and find strength, both socially and academically, in community.Ìý

Application to MASP is open to all Âé¶¹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences who seek to actively engage in advancing equity and belonging across our diverse campus community.Ìý MASP does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, veteran status, marital status, political affiliation, political philosophy, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression in accordance with state, federal and Regents law.Ìý
