Colorado 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, Edwards 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.
