In 1965, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs moved to a craggy hill with a panoramic view of Pikes Peak. Known as the Cragmor Parcel, this became the UCCS home for a growing following of scholars. Now, more than 40 years later, the university offers a broad range of degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences in addition to professional programs in business, engineering, nursing, education and public affairs to meet the needs of Colorado’s second-largest metropolitan area and beyond.

UCCS now offers 29 bachelor’s, 18 masters and four doctoral degrees and aims to become the premier comprehensive regional research university in the nation with 10,000-12,000 students. In recent years, U.S. News and World Report named UCCS a top Western public university, placing it seventh in its most recent edition. In addition to its academic programs, UCCS fields 14 men’s and women’s NCAA Division II sports teams and has a full range of student life programming.

Students will be enrolled into UCCS as part of their training and receive the course credit upon successful completion of the program. For further information on the course and the accreditation process please contact Front Range Training.
