Welcome to Colorado College!
Welcome to intensive learning that extends throughout and beyond the Rocky Mountain West—an exceptional location where adventure threads into each day on campus.
Welcome to a vibrant community
Our community of around 2,000 students is eager to communicate, debate, defend, think, and engage with you and everyone around them. The conversations don't stop when you leave the classroom but expand in every corner of campus as friends and peers relentlessly urge you to think outside the box, prosper, and expand your views.
Welcome to the Block Plan
Prepare to dive into your current passion in small discussion-based classes, where professors will know your name, encourage you to grow, and respect your stride. You'll take one class at a time for three and a half weeks amounting to 32 blocks of curiosity, adventure, and imagination. Master the art of balancing clubs, internships, work, athletics, community service, and adjuncts, and welcome many moments of unearthing your passions, exploring, and better understanding the world—and your individual growth.
Welcome to block breaks
Block breaks are your four days to relax, or climb one of Colorado's 54 peaks (higher than 14,000 feet), or explore the dynamic sand dunes, forests, and canyons of the Southwest.
Welcome to Colorado College. Enjoy the ride.
