Pueblo Community College

What Pueblo Community College does

Pueblo Community College is a public community college founded in 1933 and operating as part of the Colorado Community College System (CCCS). It serves more than 5,000 students at its 33-acre main campus in Pueblo, Colorado, with additional delivery through a Fremont campus in Cañon City and PCC Southwest sites in Mancos and Durango that together serve more than 1,000 students across Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Juan counties. The institution offers 100+ academic programs, including associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, certificates, and mini-certificates spanning healthcare, public safety, business, technology, trades, and general education, and it has been a designated Hispanic-Serving Institution for more than 30 years, with 33% of students identifying as Hispanic and 57% being first-generation college students.

The college's core product surface is an academic-and-career pathway portfolio delivered through on-campus instruction, online learning branded as PCC Flex, apprenticeship programs, and specialized facilities such as the Nursing and Allied Health Teaching and Learning Center at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital and a $2 million donor-funded nursing simulation lab at Fremont. Pueblo Community College also runs corporate training through Pueblo Corporate College, workforce development via the Small Business Development Center, and community-education programs including Kids' College, Senior Mini College, Gateway to College, and concurrent enrollment for high school students. PCC markets an "AI-enhanced education" capability that integrates AI-driven tools across academic programs and institutional processes, although no proprietary models, patents, or named AI hires are disclosed.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed because PCC is a government state entity. Operating funding flows through three principal streams: tuition and fees (with PCC positioning as the lowest-cost provider in southern Colorado at roughly one-third the cost of a four-year university, plus Western Undergraduate Exchange and New Mexico reciprocity pricing), per-student state funding through the Colorado Community College System, and administration of federal and state financial aid (87% of students receive aid, 74% receive grants or scholarships, with an average Pell award of $6,103 for full-time students). Distribution occurs directly through campus enrollment, online self-serve channels, and tribal-community partnerships with the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute tribes in the Southwest region.
