Greetings Current & Prospective T-Birds!

Welcome to òòò½ÎÑÊÓÆµ where our mission is to prepare students to lead successful lives and enhance the vitality of our communities. Our guiding values are Success, Service, Integrity, Community, Accessibility, & Sustainability. We are delighted you’ve found your way to us!

As you explore what Cloud has to offer, you’ll discover a caring community dedicated to supporting students in pursuit of their educational goals. Many of our faculty and staff are former students or long-time employees with deep ties to both the college and local community. While you have many educational options, Cloud has a proud history of helping students improve their lives whether your goal is to enter the workforce, enhance your skills for a better career, or transfer to a four-year university.

Cloud offers a variety of degree programs and stackable credentials, with more than 335 courses available each semester to achieve your goals. Higher education transforms lives, so we strive to provide accessibility to every resident in our 12-county service area. Cloud’s tuition is about one-third the cost of state universities, and graduates with an associate’s degree earn, on average, $17,500 more per year than those with only a high school diploma. Your future begins here and takes you anywhere!

We also understand student engagement outside the classroom is essential for academic success, which is why we offer dozens of clubs and organizations to cater to a wide range of interests and abilities. Students who get involved in campus life gain valuable experience in leadership, teamwork, and life skills that are valuable whether you move on to pursue a four-year degree or begin your career right away. These opportunities are fostered in our welcoming, small-college environment where personal, social, and academic growth are at the heart of the student experience. Over 90% of our graduates would recommend Cloud to a friend!

There are countless opportunities waiting for you at Cloud, and we look forward to supporting you as you navigate your educational journey. Our goal is to provide the best possible experience while preparing you for future success.

Come join T-Bird Nation!!
