Welcome to Colorado Online and Distance Education

This Colorado Online and Distance Education (previously Colorado Consortium of Independent Study) web site contains a rich variety of academic courses offered in both print and electronic formats that will permit you to learn wherever you live. When you take one of these courses you will join students in Colorado, across the country and around the world who are engaged in achieving their academic goals.

The courses listed on this web site are just a sampling of many learning opportunities provided by members of the Colorado Statewide Extended Studies Program. If you are a Colorado resident you may also wish to consider attending classes in or near your hometown.
