CU enrolled 45,808 students in 1999, which is 40 percent of the students enrolled in all Colorado public higher education.
   
   
CU's Pre-Collegiate Development Program helps 1,000 high school (9-12) minority students to pursue a successful education beyond high school. Through skills development and rigorous course work, students prepare for a professional career. The program has placed 1,502 seniors in higher education at a 96 percent success rate.

In response to the infusion of high tech industries and military installations in Colorado Springs, CU offers bachelor's and master's programs in mechanical engineering, doctoral programs in electrical engineering and computer science, and courses in space studies at its Colorado Springs campus.

CU's Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) deliver nursing and community education courses to video sites in Cortez, Montrose, Craig, Clifton, Greeley, Alamosa and Pueblo.

Unique in the world, the new Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL) in Boulder provides hands-on, real-world experience to engineering students and to hundreds of K-12 students and teachers annually.

Over 50 percent of all Colorado school children will benefit from the new Front Range Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), a teacher leadership organization founded by CU and the Englewood School District, which supports professional development of teachers to promote quality teaching and learning.
