Department of Arts and Sciences
CNCC is a leader in the Open-Educational Resources (OER) movement both in Colorado and the nation. A student in Arts and Sciences at CNCC will save thousands of dollars because nearly all our courses use OER (FREE) textbooks. This gives our students the freedom to use their textbooks online, offline, no matter where they are. Our programs are available on our two beautiful campuses, online, or in hy-flex formats to fit the students' needs.
