Online degrees give you a great deal of flexibility and can save you money on commuting, travel, and room and board. You’ll be able to complete any asynchronous coursework at the best time and place for you, allowing you to balance work, family and personal commitments. You’ll also have the same benefits of connecting with your peers and professors as on-campus students, but your connections will be made through the online learning platform.  

At UCCS, you’ll receive the same education whether you’re in a classroom or watching pre-recorded lectures from home. Some universities hire part-time faculty for online courses, but our online programs are taught by full-time faculty members who also teach on campus. Ultimately, UCCS Online students earn the same degree and receive the same diploma as students on campus.

Your diploma will have no indication that your degree was earned online and will be issued by the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.  

Online degrees are respected by employers more than ever, especially if your online degree was earned at an accredited and respected institution. We are regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission—and that includes online programs! Our institution is recognized by employers across the nation and around the world. You can be proud of your diploma, whether you earn it on campus or online.
