Rangely Campus

The Rangely Campus of CNCC, serving around 300 students, sits on a lush mesa overlooking the town of Rangely. Established in 1962 as “Rangely College,” it has earned a sterling reputation for its Dental Hygiene, Aviation, and Park Ranger Training Programs. Today, students describe the campus as a “mini university” complete with residence halls, a vibrant student life, and five NJCAA Division I athletic teams.

A full array of outdoor activities and programs are available to students, including river rafting, ice climbing, camping, and even spelunking. Minutes from the deep canyons and rock formations of Dinosaur National Monument, Rangely is the center of life in this vibrant natural resource area of Colorado.

The Campus is well-connected with the Rangely community. The local taxing district provides a 100% tuition buy-down to its residents and the college offers an impressive array of community education classes and seminars. [3]
