CU Succeed, CU Succeed Platinum, and Project Lead The Way (PLTW)
The CU Succeed program is a unique partnership that exists between UCCS and Colorado high schools that gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credits prior to graduating from high school. This is a concurrent credit program which allows high school students to begin achieving their education goals.
Teacher Education
In cooperation with our education partners, Extended Studies offers professional development courses for K-12 teachers. Online graduate degrees are also available to teachers to enhance their education background and experience.
Project Lead The Way (PLTW)
UCCS is the Colorado Affiliate University for Project Lead the Way (PLTW), a national program forming partnerships among public schools, higher education institutions and the private sector in order to encourage students to expand upon their knowledge in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). UCCS provides quality PLTW summer training for middle school and high school teachers, ongoing training, and networking opportunities throughout the school year. The campus also provides college engineering graduate credit opportunities for those middle and high school teachers that participate in summer training, and undergraduate engineering credit opportunities for high school students in PLTW-certified schools.
Listening In
Listening In allows lifelong learners age 55 or older the opportunity to attend regular-session courses on a space-available basis. No academic credit is earned, but the program provides an opportunity for seasoned adults to share in the vast and varied resources of the University at a minimal cost.
Non-credit Courses: On-campus and Online
Non-credit short courses and executive seminars are held at the UCCS campus and in the community. Check Online and Academic Outreach’s website for a calendar of upcoming courses.
