Community College of Aurora

Learning Designed for Your Life

At CCA we recognize that education shouldn't be one size fits all. That's why we have a number of different ways for you to achieve your educational goals - whether they are to get a bachelor's degree, have the flexibility to study when you want to, quickly learn new skills to move on to a new job, or learn to be one of the many men and women who protect and serve our community.

Career-ready Programs and a Supportive Community

No matter which direction you choose, there are some things common to all our programs. Your courses are based on real life and real work situations so you'll be more than ready when you start your career. You'll be a part of a community that will support you. You won't find the quality of education and the variety of unique ways to learn at any other college, especially for the cost you'll find here.

Choose Your Learning Style

CCA offers three distinctive learning tracks for you to choose from:

transFER – the first two years of a bachelor’s degree, the same as you’d get at any four-year college or university, with credits that transfer to the college of your choice all for significantly less cost. Start at CCA; finish at any 4-year Colorado college or university.
onLINE – degree and certificate programs designed so that you can study on your time and on your schedule. Earn a certificate fully online.
realLIFE – police, firefighter, paramedic, EMT, and disaster-management certification programs taught in an on-the-job environment. You won’t find classrooms so life-like anywhere else.
