[edit] Campuses
Pikes Peak Community College has three full-service campuses, three military satellite locations, and an extensive distance education program. The largest campus, the Centennial Campus, is located in southern Colorado Springs near the Fort Carson Army base. The Downtown Studio Campus is located in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs, and the Rampart Range Campus is located at the north end of the city. While students may study General Education (CORE) courses at all three campuses, certain programs are site specific. Centennial Campus is the largest campus, and offers all academic disciplines as well as the occupational and technical programs. Rampart Range Campus hosts the Nursing and Health Sciences programs, and includes a state-of-the-art Nursing SIM Lab. The Downtown Studio Campus is a hub for the fine arts programs. On Saturday, August 9, 2008 the new Falcon Campus was opened to satisfy the high demand for easily accessible higher education for the rapidly-growing population to the northeast and on the eastern plains. Three satellite education centers offer a variety of courses and programs at local Military bases. Courses for military education are held at various dates and times which are different from the traditional semester.
