Colorado Springs

This place rocks. Literally.

Our campus is just a short walk or bike ride to downtown Colorado Springs, a 10-minute drive to Garden of the Gods, and an hour drive to Denver. Our nickname is Olympic City, USA because high performance athletes come here to train at high altitude. It's also a top tourist destination, attracting about 25.5 million visitors each year.

Our campus could be described as “picture perfect,” which is ironic because pictures don’t really do it justice. The best way to get a feel for campus is to walk around and take in the vibe.
