world. UCCS was recently classified as a "High Research Activity" university by
the Carnegie Foundation and takes pride in being the only higher education
institution in southern Colorado that explicitly includes research as part of
its mission. We have a strong focus in fueling student success by creating,

must-see for residents and visitors alike. The 14,115 foot summit is just one of
