About

At Colorado College, we aspire to offer the finest liberal arts education in the country. Our unique Block Plan system provides students with the most immersive and rewarding method of learning possible. It offers in-depth study, oftentimes covering far more material than most semester-based programs, at demanding and inspiring levels.

We offer unparalleled access to the outdoors, and CC students are no strangers to the adventurous spirit that flourishes here in the Rocky Mountain West. This attitude is something that is present in everything we do here. Curiosity is the driver, and ingenuity is the outcome.

Our academic environment challenges our students and drives them toward discovery. The nature of the Block Plan enables students to find and pursue their passions. We allow students and professors to make their time here a unique experience.

We pride ourselves or more than academic rigors and standards. We encourage students to participate in volunteer activities and leadership groups on campus and within the Colorado Springs community.

Leadership is something that we strive for in everything we do at CC because the leadership skills cultivated here will allow students to become leaders in whichever career they pursue.

My Education Department courses have been helpful in my current job. Each education class I took emphasized the importance of diversity and understanding.

Being able to understand different backgrounds has helped me in my current role, as a large part of my job is interacting with students from all over the world.
