School Description
Provided by Colorado Mountain College-Glenwood SpringsColorado Mountain College is a comprehensive community college that exists to
meet the educational and training needs of the communities we serve.
We're a college in the middle of the Colorado Rockies, delivering a personalized college education in 11 Rocky Mountain locations, including three residential campuses.
This is a personal, two-year education, similar to what you'd get at private, four-year colleges or universities, but with the backdrop of Colorado outdoors. We offer a full range of learning opportunities from Breckenridge to Rifle, Aspen to Vail and Steamboat Springs.
Few other colleges match our invigorating blend of hands-on outdoor education, personal attention and rigorous academic preparation.
Colorado Mountain College courses can take you to the wilderness for outdoor studies or Natural Resource Management, have you working at Rocky Mountain ski resorts and four diamond restaurants, or capturing the natural beauty through visual arts.
Our science and liberal arts associate degrees are designed to give you a broad and solid academic foundation to transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
Come join us at Colorado Mountain College!
Colorado Mountain College-Glenwood Springs
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaColorado Mountain College (CMC) is a network of seven junior college campuses in western Colorado. Three of the campuses are residential campuses with student residence halls and cafeterias, and are located in Steamboat Springs, Leadville and Glenwood Springs. The residential campuses are essentially Colorado state junior colleges operated on a small college model, and are designed to send graduates on to successful enrollment and completion of 4-year degrees at the state's four-year institutions of higher learning. CMC also offers numerous courses transmitted across the district via live interactive video, allowing students at one location to hear and speak with their teachers at other college sites. CMC offers many of the same introductory courses in arts and sciences found at most four-year colleges, but it also has strong outdoor education and wilderness studies courses. Numerous professional certifications, and custom workforce training, are also offered.
Other heavily enrolled programs include ski business, which incorporates ski tuning, boot fitting, retail shop management, marketing; ski area operations, which offers hands-on courses in slope maintenance and grooming, and ski lift maintenance and operations; veterinary technology; and nursing. Courses in hotel and resort management are also offered, and graduates of these courses help to sustain the winter, and summer, tourism driven economies of Colorado.
The Roaring Fork (at Spring Valley), and Timberline (at Chaffee County) campuses offer programs for training police officers. These programs include legal instruction as well as courses in arrest techniques and gun combat. Courses are taught by local prosecutors and law enforcement officers. The college also offers criminal justice classes for other students as well.
Many Colorado Mountain College instructors are local professionals that teach at the college part time. They draw on their own professional experience as well as academic sources when teaching classes, giving Colorado Mountain College courses a "real world" emphasis. Some instructors are also students, as the college allows instructors to take a tuition free course for every course they teach (in addition to salary and benefits). Thus it is not uncommon to see someone teaching a class one day and taking one the next.
