Colorado Mountain College has purchased property near Airport Road in south Rifle where they hope to begin renovating quickly to offer new classes and programs for the trade education of Garfield County.
“You certainly don’t need an associate’s degree to be successful,” said Tinker Duclo, vice president and campus dean of Colorado Mountain College’s Rifle campus. “It does help to get a headstart on the trade you’ve chosen.”
CMC is a dual-mission college, merging traditional four-year university programs with community and technical college programs under one roof. The college has 11 campuses across Colorado.
