The Learning Experience
Welcome to one of the most advanced course delivery systems in modern education!
At Stonecliffe College Online, an academic division of Colorado Technical University, we believe learning should not be measured by hours spent in a physical classroom or how much you can memorize simply to pass a test. What's far more important is how much you actually learn and retain.

The industry-current Associate's degree programs offered through Stonecliffe College Online are designed not only to test your memory but also your comprehension and ability to properly apply information learned in the course to a real-world setting.

We've removed the barriers of a physical classroom, empowering you to learn at a manageable pace. You'll get a real-world education from the convenience of any Internet-connected computer. You'll be able to study at home, at work (if you're planning on having a job while you earn your degree).anywhere you have an Internet connection.

As a recent high school graduate, you're very likely an ideal candidate for being an online student. You undoubtedly are familiar with using the kinds of technology we use in our virtual classrooms: multimedia video, online chats and email, to name just a few.

Furthermore, all of Stonecliffe College Online's instructors have advanced degrees and experience in the fields they teach, bringing real-world relevance into each and every class. That means you'll not only gain valuable insights into the potential careers that interest you, you'll also have opportunities to establish professional connections that may become valuable once you graduate and begin to establish a career.

Stonecliffe College Online also places an important emphasis on group projects. Classmates will team-up to complete meaningful group projects, providing opportunities to interact and develop the kind of group dynamic relationships that can serve you well in the working world.

Another great thing about learning in a virtual classroom is that you can be yourself. Whether you're shy or outgoing, extremely focused or a bit laid back, Stonecliffe College Online's unique learning model provides opportunities for all students to get an equal education, because everyone is able to manage his or her studies in the manner that is most efficient and effective for them.

Stonecliffe College Online brings a whole new dimension to the concept of education, and it's really only limited by your capacity and desire to take advantage of an amazingly flexible, incredibly interactive, inspiringly modern learning environment.

At Stonecliffe College Online, you control how, when and where you learn.
Fitting a meaningful educational experience into today's demanding lifestyles, schedules and obligations poses challenges for many students. But at Stonecliffe College Online, we've taken a more modern approach to education that introduces flexibility and convenience into the concept of learning.

Our Practical Approach to College Education (PACE™) empowers you to control the pace at which you progress through your chosen degree program. All students begin with a single course during the first session. However, beginning with the second session, they can choose between an accelerated and decelerated pace.

If you choose the accelerated option, you'll take two courses every 5 ½ week session. By taking two courses at a time, a student can complete the Associate's program in as little as 15 calendar months.
If you choose the decelerated option, you'll take just one course every 5 ½ week session. By taking just one course at a time, a student can complete the program in 30 calendar months.

After completing the first 5 ½ week session, all students default to an accelerated pace of study unless they inform their advisors of their desire to keep learning at a decelerated pace.

At the start of every new session, you'll even have the freedom to switch back and forth between the accelerated and decelerated pace by contacting your advisor and informing him/her of your decision.

The flexible pace of our programs can prove to be beneficial to students trying to maximize their education benefits from the military or from companies offering tuition reimbursement. Learning at a slower pace can mean that such benefits can be spread over a greater period of time, maximizing their value to students and making a quality education even more cost-efficient over the course of time.

In the fast-moving world in which we live, time has become a precious commodity, but you no longer need to make concessions to the advancement of your knowledge and real-world skills. At Stonecliffe College Online, you can earn your Associate's degree at a manageable pace.

With our iMersion™ multimedia courses, you'll be an active participant in your own real-world education.
At Stonecliffe College Online, we strive to prepare students with an industry-current education that can be immediately applied to real-world situations. Most of our courses have been designed to immerse you in interactive multimedia presentations that target both personal and professional growth.

The University's quality Associate's degree programs are structured to:

Provide you with the knowledge and skills to either prepare for a career or advance into a Bachelor's degree program.
Gradually move from concept to practice, so that by the time you graduate, you will not have merely acquired knowledge. Rather, you will know how, when and where your knowledge can be applied in the real world.
Support your personal learning experiences by augmenting them with real-time interaction with instructors and classmates via email, discussion boards and interactive online chat sessions.

Our iMersion™ multimedia courses are designed for efficient learning in today's world. Progressing at a convenient pace, you will gradually be immersed in learning activities that require you to reflect, apply and integrate course content.

At Stonecliffe College Online, we believe that by empowering students in the learning process, the experience itself changes, and the motivation for learning can increase.

Best of all, as you learn and gain new skills and academic credentials, you'll maintain your capacity to remain fully engaged with your family and work responsibilities.
