Colorado College
Welcome to intensive learning that expands through and beyond the Rocky Mountain West. Welcome to the Block Plan, where you'll take one class at a time for 3 weeks. 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. Welcome to block breaks: four days to relax, to climb one of Colorado's 54 peaks higher than 14,000 feet or explore the dynamic sand dunes, forests, and canyons of the Southwest.

Visit us
We strongly encourage every prospective student – especially every admitted student – to visit our campus. You might want to meet a coach (please schedule directly with the athletic department), take in a campus event, or just relax and admire our beautiful mountain view. Your visit might include trying out the Block Plan and residential life by attending a class and staying in a residence hall. And we, of course, welcome your family as well.
