Colorado Mountain College (CMC) enhances the rich historical and recreational culture enjoyed by owners of Breckenridge real estate.  Residents of Breckenridge real estate take advantage of one of four CMC Community Campuses, the Summit Campus that has one site in Breckenridge and one in Dillon.  Even if your Breckenridge real estate is a bit outside of town, the CMC’s 12,000-square-mile service area includes Summit County real estate, homestead ranches, wilderness areas, and other Summit County historic towns.
 
Community Campuses

The Breckenridge Community Campus Center is located in a restored, turn-of-the-century Victorian building in the middle of the Breckenridge Historic District and prime historic Breckenridge real estate. 

The Center also hosts community, and cultural events in its 160-seat auditorium.  Facilities incorporate a photography lab, art gallery, computer lab, classrooms, and studios for dance, art and pottery.  A variety of educational opportunities, often scheduled for the convenience of the people with jobs, families, and people who love to learn, are available including job skills, fitness classes, and the arts.  In the winter, the school offers classes in Alpine and Nordic skiing, ice-skating, and other winter sports.  During warmer weather, classes move to hiking and biking in the wilderness areas as well as water sports and fishing on crystal-clear Lake Dillon.

Another fun way to experience CMC at this pristine Rocky Mountain area is during special summer workshops and seminars.  Exhibits by local artists, visiting faculty, and exchange exhibits enliven the fine arts venues.  Film festivals and theatrical productions and other community events add dimension to the curriculum.

The Summit Campus now provides expanded course offerings in a high-quality learning environment surrounded by mountains and views of Lake Dillon.  The Dillon Center features state-of-the-art science and computer labs and a learning center for the Developmental Studies program providing opportunities for learning with technology.  See www.coloradomtn.edu for more information.

Other CMC Community Campuses are Aspen, Rifle, Roaring Fork, Timberline, and Vail-Eagle Valley.

Residential Campuses

The Residential Campuses are designed to provide a traditional "on-campus" college experience, including residence halls, cafeterias, student recreation facilities and libraries. Residential campuses generally have more full-time students, creating opportunities for a variety of campus life activities as well.  The three residential campuses and Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs, Roaring Fork-Spring Valley near Glenwood Springs, and Timberline Campus in Leadville.

Cutting Edge Learning Style

Colorado Mountain College covers all or part of nine counties in north-central Colorado at its twelve sites.  Many courses are transmitted across the district via live interactive video where students at one location are able to see, hear and speak with their teachers and classmates at several other CMC sites.  Additional distance learning opportunities are available through Internet web courses or courses that combine various learning technologies.

Students may opt to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree through the Associate in Arts program and transfer to a four-year college or university.  Other students use occupational certificates and AA degrees to gain immediate employment.
