Special Opportunities
Colorado Free University is always looking to find ways to meet the needs of the community for learning and enrichment. We have over 150 ongoing classes that bring value to the community. In addition, we program certain “special” classes. These may be a one-time presentation or a course that takes place only occasionally.
Some of these special classes are taught by presenters from outside Colorado who make their offering available through CFU. We also provide opportunities for people to delve more deeply into a particular area, offering certifications in digital marketing and nonprofit administration and management as well as basic mediation training.
