Colorado College provides rigorous and experiential learning opportunities through a unique academic schedule: the Block Plan. Dividing the year into eight three-and-a-half week blocks, during which students take one course at a time, our innovative Block Plan provides students with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in subject matter through a wide array of learning experiences.
CC is proud to meet 100% of your family’s eligibility for need-based financial aid. We invest over $50 million in financial aid annually.

Our QuestBridge Partnership
Since 2013, Colorado College has partnered with QuestBridge, a non-profit organization that matches high-achieving, underserved students with opportunities in higher education. We participate in the National College Match process and enroll at least 10 QuestBridge applicants each year — some through match and others through our own admission processes.
Liberal Arts Liberal Arts colleges offer great opportunities for students to decide what they want to study. A Liberal Arts education is typically well-rounded and produces graduates who have a solid understanding of many topics. These schools tend to be smaller than universities.
City Urban institutions typically offer more options when it comes to internships, jobs, community service, research positions, social lives, and more. However, some may find the city distracting, and the cost of living is typically higher.
