Community College Pathways Program

Colorado Community College System Partnership

DeVry University in Colorado is proud to partner with the Colorado Community College System to provide students with an opportunity to earn the bachelor's degree they want in a shorter timeframe at a reduced cost.

After completing their associate degree, students within the Colorado Community College System can reenroll at their community college and earn 20 or more additional credits. When those credits are completed, students can transfer 80 or more qualifying credit hours toward earning a bachelor's degree at DeVry University.

The final 30-45 credit hours toward a bachelor's degree can then be earned at DeVry University in Colorado at a 33% tuition discount. Students will take their courses onsite or online, but at least 9 credit hours must be taken at a DeVry University in Colorado site.

Many students will be able to complete their bachelor's degree program within just 2 semesters at DeVry, and can select from bachelor's degree programs like Business Administration, Technical Management and more.
