High School
The Pre-Collegiate Development Program (PCDP) at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is a system-wide, institutionally funded academic program for high school students interested in post-secondary opportunities. It is designed to motivate and prepare first generation and/or military dependent students in pursuit of their higher education goals. PCDP is structured to ensure that students are academically prepared to enroll in, and be successful at UCCS, the University of Colorado system or any other postsecondary institution of the students' choice.
PCDP prepares participants for post-secondary success through the following activities: summer dual enrollment courses, College Experience Conferences, Transition Coaching Workshops, and community engagement opportunities are designed around pathway-specific interests and information.
