Columbia College — Aurora

Founded in 1851, Columbia College has been helping students advance their lives through higher education for more than 150 years. As a private, non-profit, coeducational liberal arts and sciences college, the college takes pride in its small classes, experienced faculty and quality educational programs.

Originally founded as Christian Female College, the college was the first women's college west of the Mississippi River to be chartered by a state legislature. The college changed its name to Columbia College in 1970 when it changed from a two-year women's college to a four-year coeducational college. Columbia College was one of the first colleges to branch out beyond its home campus, and we are proud to serve the Denver Metro community from our Aurora, CO campus.

At Columbia College–Aurora, everything we do is geared toward helping military personnel, their spouses and other working adults improve their lives through higher education.

In addition to offering associate and bachelor's degrees, the college also offers a MBA degree at our Aurora campus, as well as additional master's degrees online.
