Started by our faculty in 1970, professors teach and students take one class at a time. It means you dive into a different subject every block, and every class gets your full attention and effort.
“Block Break” — Four-and-a-half day break between each block providing an academic respite as well as ample opportunities for relaxation and exploration both in Colorado Springs and around the Southwest. What your day might look like: • Three+ hours of class • Four to five hours of homework • Eight hours for clubs, organizations, workstudy/internships, LIFE! • Eight hours for sleep. Yes, you can get eight hours on the Block Plan! What’s great about the Block Plan? • Average class size is 16, and classes are capped at 25 • No cramming for multiple midterms or finals • Extensive opportunities for field study and hands-on learning • Intensive, collaborative, discussion-oriented classes Note: This example shows one way to craft your own schedule on the Block Plan.

It is our goal to make Colorado College affordable to all admitted students who apply for assistance on time. We review every financial aid application individually.

As such, we believe student “self-help” in the form of aid offered through loans and work study is an important part of meeting the full demonstrated need of a student. We award Colorado College grant assistance based on your financial eligibility and admissions credentials. Remaining aid comes in the form of loans and workstudy. Students who graduated from CC in May 2019 had an average federal student loan debt of $18,842. The national average is over $32,000. Please Note: Financial paperwork must be received by the application deadlines: • November 1: Early Decision I/Early Action • January 15: Early Decision II/ Regular Action • March 1: Fall Transfers

When CC and families invest in education, we all invest in the “life of the mind.” Many families mistakenly assume they cannot afford a unique, private college education. However, Colorado College offers a strong financial aid program that enables students from all economic backgrounds to enroll. We strongly urge you to explore the possibility of financial aid as you plan your college education.

At Colorado College, the financial aid program is viewed as a partnership between the college, the student, and the family. As such, we believe student “self-help” in the form of aid offered through loans and work study is an important part of meeting the full demonstrated need of a student. We award Colorado College grant assistance based on your financial eligibility and admissions credentials. Remaining aid comes in the form of loans and workstudy. Students who graduated from CC in May 2019 had an average federal student loan debt of $18,842. The national average is over $32,000. Please Note: Financial paperwork must be received by the application deadlines: • November 1: Early Decision I/Early Action • January 15: Early Decision II/ Regular Action • March 1: Fall Transfers

undergraduate students received grants and/or scholarships from Colorado College.
When CC and families invest in education, we all invest in the “life of the mind.” Many families mistakenly assume they cannot afford a unique, private college education. However, Colorado College offers a strong financial aid program that enables students from all economic backgrounds to enroll. We strongly urge you to explore the possibility of financial aid as you plan your college education.

One class at a time, eight times per year. Check out how could you plan your year, block by block, at left. For 50 years, Colorado College has offered a unique opportunity to learn — the Block Plan. Started by our faculty in 1970, professors teach and students take one class at a time. It means you dive into a different subject every block, and every class gets your full attention and effort.
“Block Break” — Four-and-a-half day break between each block providing an academic respite as well as ample opportunities for relaxation and exploration both in Colorado Springs and around the Southwest. What your day might look like: • Three+ hours of class • Four to five hours of homework • Eight hours for clubs, organizations, workstudy/internships, LIFE! • Eight hours for sleep. Yes, you can get eight hours on the Block Plan! What’s great about the Block Plan? • Average class size is 16, and classes are capped at 25 • No cramming for multiple midterms or finals • Extensive opportunities for field study and hands-on learning • Intensive, collaborative, discussion-oriented classes Note: This example shows one way to craft your own schedule on the Block Plan.

“FOOT Trips” — FOOT Trips (First-Year Outdoor Orientation Trip) are an optional outdoors trip specifically for first-year students, led by experienced leaders of the ORC (Outdoor Recreation Committee) during the first block break. For first-year students, this will be the block break between the two blocks of the FYP (First-Year Program).

Colorado Springs is the second-largest city in Colorado, and features an accessible and walkable downtown area minutes and steps from campus. Colorado College sits north of downtown, and south of the historic and beautiful Old North End. With many shops, restaurants, art galleries, music venues, and more, Colorado Springs is a perfect — and comfortable — urban location. When you need to get out of the city, there are expansive networks of trails for running, hiking, biking, rock climbing, and everything else. Want to go even farther? Check out all the cool things Colorado Springs and the state of Colorado have to offer.
Welcome to the best of both worlds — a college set in an urban environment with incredible access to the outdoors. We’re not just another small college in a small town. Our adventurous spirit is fueled by the opportunities provided by the Rocky Mountain West. Imagine the possibilities.
