Detroit is part of the student experience through CCS projects and collaborations. The CCS x DET series follows students as they explore the city, while partnerships connect students with Detroit companies and brands. The college also offers online and part-time graduate academic programs. Its Apple Foundation Program provides free coding courses for Detroiters, extending CCS’s creative and technical work beyond its degree programs.
