Colorado Early Colleges

By the Numbers: Class of 2026 Graduation Achievements :

Associate Degrees
Over 472 graduates, 57% of the entire class, earned at least one associate degree. That means more than half of CEC’s 2026 graduates are walking across the graduation stage not just with a diploma, but with a two-year college degree already completed. For many, that represents tens of thousands of dollars in tuition savings.

Certificates and Industry Credentials
An impressive 606 graduates (73%) earned at least one college certificate, with 334 students earning a certificate as their primary credential. Across CEC campuses, certificate attainment was particularly strong; some campuses saw over 90% of their graduates earn at least one certificate, demonstrating the power of CEC’s career pathway programs.

🎓Our CEC Colorado Springs Class of 2026 walked across the graduation stage today! Congratulations to all our graduates!
