The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs is the second-largest campus of the University of Colorado system. It has approximately 6,150 undergraduate students and 1,500 graduate students. UCCS was established as an extension campus in the 1920s. It is known especially for its engineering, business, and nursing programs. As early as the 1920's, CU offered classes in the Colorado Springs area at various locations, mostly Colorado College. By the 1960s, however, a permanent campus was desired. Together with governor John Love, Hewlett-Packard co-founder David Packard, whose company had a huge presence in the city, led a drive to establish a permanent home for the university. The solution came when George T. Dwire sold the Cragmor Sanatorium property for $1 to the state. In 1965 UCCS moved to its current location on Austin Bluffs Parkway in northern Colorado Springs.
