Elevate your future
At Colorado Mountain College, we believe that education should be as vast and adventurous as the landscape surrounding our campuses. Spread across the heart of the Rockies, the College offers a unique opportunity to earn a high-quality degree while living in some of the most beautiful mountain towns in the world.
Academics that reach higher
Whether you are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business, sustainability, or nursing, the coursework here is designed to be hands-on and relevant. Because our class sizes are small, you will never be just a number in a lecture hall. Instead, you will work closely with faculty who know your name and are invested in helping you elevate your career goals. We focus on practical skills that translate directly to the workforce, ensuring you are prepared for whatever comes after graduation.
Life at 7,000 feet and beyond
Student life at the College is defined by the great outdoors. When you aren't in the lab or the library, you are likely hitting the slopes, hiking a trail, or exploring the local community. It is a place for students who want to stay active and engaged with nature. On-campus life is just as vibrant, with clubs and organizations that foster a tight-knit community where it is easy to make lifelong friends who share your passion for adventure.
A different perspective on value
We pride ourselves on being one of the most affordable options for higher education in Colorado. By keeping tuition low and quality high, we ensure that every student has the chance to elevate their future without the burden of overwhelming debt. It is a smart investment in a world-class environment.
