About Extended Campus
Since 1976, MSU Denver's Extended Campus Program has served the needs of adult learners who live and work throughout the Denver metropolitan area. At Extended Campus, we are committed to delivering Colorado's best value in higher education to a diverse and geographically widespread metropolitan community. Our mission is to make higher education convenient for students who are balancing family, work, and community obligations.
Extended Campus offers degree completion programs and a complete array of general education classes at two suburban locations: MSU Denver South Campus in the Denver Technology Center at I-25 and Orchard Road, and MSU Denver North Campus at I-25 and 120th Avenue in Northglenn.
Full-term semester classes (16 weeks) are scheduled in the evenings, generally one day per week; many classes are offered on weekends in an accelerated 8-week format (Saturdays), and in a variety of other scheduling formats available to meet the needs of working adults.
