Situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colorado, Naropa University operates as a private Buddhist-inspired liberal arts institution founded in 1974 by Tibetan Buddhist teacher Chögyam Trungpa. The university occupies three campuses within Boulder, with the main Arapahoe Campus featuring a mix of modern and converted historical buildings in a walkable urban setting. Naropa combines traditional academic disciplines with contemplative practices and mindfulness studies, offering undergraduate and graduate programs in areas such as Psychology, Environmental Studies, Creative Writing, and Religious Studies. The university pioneered the field of contemplative education in North America and maintains a distinct academic approach that integrates Eastern wisdom traditions with Western scholarly methods. While Naropa does not provide traditional dormitory housing, the university assists students in finding local housing options within the Boulder community.
