The University Press of Colorado is a nonprofit publisher that was established in 1965.[3] It is currently a member of the Association of University Presses and has been since 1982.[4]

Initially associated with Colorado public universities, the University Press of Colorado is currently a multi-state consortium supported by certain Colorado-based public universities (viz., Adams State University, Colorado State University, Fort Lewis College, Metropolitan State University of Denver, the University of Colorado System, the University of Northern Colorado, and Western Colorado University), a Colorado-based private university (viz., Regis University), and three non-Colorado-based universities (viz. the University of Alaska System, Utah State University, and the University of Wyoming).[5] This makes it one of the few university presses in the United States to have more than one affiliate university.[6]
