Academics & Programs

College “Campus Pathways Students” attend Odyssey ECCO and take half of their “Guarantee Transfer” classes taught by PPSC and CSUP adjunct professors. Freshman and incoming students are enrolled in college preparation courses in the form of honors classes in English, Algebra, Multicultural US History, Biology, Avid, and Career and Technical Education. Students add college level courses to their academic schedule once they are prepared and qualify. ​

The academic program offered to Campus Pathways Students at Odyssey ECCO is comprised of a total of eight 95-minute block classes. Campus Pathways Students may attend any combination of classes for a maximum of 15 college credits in a single semester. Block classes are semester-long and meet daily.

College “Pathway Students” attend either PPSC or CSUP and take the remainder of their Associate Degree (and sometimes even their Bachelor’s Degree) course requirements. While Select Students are required to carry a minimum load of 12 credit hours per semester, we highly encourage Select Students to take at least 15 credit hours per semester (completing their Associates Degree in two years, in some cases allowing them to begin their Bachelor’s Degree at UCCS—while still enrolled as high school students.)​

ODYSSEY ECCO holds memberships in: College Board, Colorado School Counselor Association, Colorado Council on High School/College Relations, Association of Career and Technical Education, and Colorado Association of Career and Technical Education. Career Pathways received the Pikes Peak Work Force Center’s Pathways to Prosperity Award.​
