Social Science Center
Do you want to take classes but think you’re
too busy? Do you need a flexible schedule
that allows you to read, study and take tests
at your convenience?The Social Science
Center offers busy individuals the chance to
take classes in history, sociology, psychology,
geography, political science and the
humanities. These self-paced classes combine
lessons from the textbook with assignments
and other information online. At the
beginning of the semester, you will need to
attend an orientation given on campus, but
from then on, you’re on your own. You have
15 weeks to complete the course work. The
aides who work in the Social Science Center
will show you what tests you have to take
and collect your essays. Because the Social
Science Center is open at very limited times
during school breaks, the best time to take
your tests, pick up your work, and turn in
your assignments is during the semester.
Self-paced classes are also available at the
Arvada Campus and at the Mountain Center.

Weekend College
Did you know that you can complete a twoyear
degree by going to school only on
weekends? For students who take all the
required courses through weekend classes,
either an associate of arts degree or an associate
of arts degree with an emphasis in
business are available. Or, if you want to
pick up elective classes or just take classes
for fun and not toward a degree, you have
over 80 classes to choose from during the
spring and fall semesters. In fact, you can
start a new class every three weeks, except
during school breaks in December and
August. From a class on stress management
that is only one weekend long, to longer
classes in Spanish, philosophy, and United
States history, the Weekend College is fast,
fun, and friendly. Join other busy people
who have found the Weekend College the
place to learn all about their world.
