There are numerous colleges and universities in the Colorado
Springs area. Under Colorado law, soldiers and family members assigned at Fort
Carson can attend State institutions at resident rates. Furthermore,
if a family member is enrolled in a State of Colorado college or university and
the soldier member must PCS, the family member can maintain in-state residency
even though the soldier member no longer lives in the state. Both
undergraduate and graduate level programs are available. Contact the Army
Education Center for more information and for out-of-state residency waivers

DEGREE/DIPLOMA MILLS and ACCREDITATION
MILLS
Degree/Diploma Mills are organizations
whose only purpose is to take your money. They are "dubious providers
of educational offerings or operations that offer certificates and degrees that
are considered bogus".
Accreditation Mills are
"dubious providers of accreditation and quality assurance or operations that
offer a certification of quality of institutions that is considered
bogus".
Before you respond to any school's ads
or offers, make sure the school is legitimate by checking the Colorado
Commission on Higher Education website that lists all institutions authorized to
operate within the State of Colorado. Legitimate schools will also
identify the association from which they have received
accreditation. Legitimate accrediting associations can be identified
by the US Department of Education and the higher education authority in each of
the fifty states.
Scam schools may claim to be
"accredited." Most legitimate schools are approved by a state agency,
like the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and/or an accrediting agency
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher
Education. Your first step is to ask, "Is the school
accredited?"
