The University of Colorado Denver (UC Denver) located in the heart of downtown Denver, allows students to choose whether they complete their courses and degrees on campus, online, or a mix of the two. Because it's the same courses, taught by the same on campus professors, for the same credit, students can tailor courses around work, family, and anything else that can't be scheduled and set aside.
Initially launching with three online courses in 1996, UC Denver has expanded its catalog to over 350 online courses, with 15 full degree programs and 10 certificates that can be completed entirely online.
