About This School

Colorado Technical University-Colorado Springs is a private for-profit institution located in Colorado Springs, Colorado with approximately 28,086 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,745 per year. The graduation rate is 19%, and the typical graduate earns $51,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers here tell a concerning story — only 18% of students graduate, and fewer than half of freshmen return for sophomore year, which suggests many students struggle to finish what they start. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $12,166, and those who do complete their degree can expect around $51,300 in earnings a decade out. Worth considering only if you have a very clear plan, strong self-discipline, and a specific career program in mind — but explore community colleges or regional public universities first, as you'll likely find better completion support for a similar or lower cost.
