Academics

Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 1,725 of University of Colorado Colorado Springs's 11,213 students (15%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 4,740 (42%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

What is the acceptance rate at University of Colorado Colorado Springs?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at University of Colorado Colorado Springs is approximately 97%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
What is the tuition at University of Colorado Colorado Springs?
University of Colorado Colorado Springs's published in-state tuition is approximately $10,149 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.

How much does University of Colorado Colorado Springs actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at University of Colorado Colorado Springs is approximately $15,788 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $12,065 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $22,142. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at University of Colorado Colorado Springs?
University of Colorado Colorado Springs reports a graduation rate of approximately 47%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of University of Colorado Colorado Springs have?
Students who borrowed at University of Colorado Colorado Springs left with a median of approximately $20,000 in federal loans, and about 34% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of University of Colorado Colorado Springs earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $54,659 for students who received federal financial aid at University of Colorado Colorado Springs. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.

CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
