Although RRCCs credits are guaranteed to transfer any public Colorado university, this college has more to offer than just being ranked on the 2013 Most Affordable Large Community Colleges List. RRCC has majors in today's most popular and in-demand fields including nursing, speech therapy, computer technology, fire science, and law enforcement. However, if you do choose to continue on, RRCC has transfer agreements in place with many four-year schools in order to help make the transfer process go smoothly.
