  • Accelerate your degree progress, affordably
  • Earn key building blocks or prerequisites for bachelor’s or advanced degrees
  • Discover fascinating topics, often unavailable for credit in the academic year
  • Get ahead from the convenience of home

Special Topics: ESPN’s 30 for 30 explores this iconic series, its cultural impact, and emphasis on the relationship between the films and exercise/sport science concepts.

Entrepreneurship and Cultural Recreation provides a strong foundation for understanding management practices of commercial and private enterprises in this field, through case study and active student participation.

The May 23-25 Colorado Water Workshop brings together students with a wide array of public, private, and governmental stakeholders on critical and timely matters of water and the West.
