We've begun our final descent into Colorado Springs
Welcome to CC
You’re a remarkable person. CC is a one-of-a-kind college. That’s why we’re a great fit! Classes and professors that ignite your curiosity. Intelligent (and fun!) peers to challenge and support you. A place you can call home. You’ll find it all here, on the Block.
At CC, you will find tenacious, adventurous students, just like you. Meet some of them in this video.

Colorado College is the Block Plan. On our immersive, innovative one-class-at-a-time Block Plan, time works differently. So do we. We climb higher, we problem-solve faster, we look deeper. And so can you. The Block Plan allows you to focus your energies solely on what you want to do. A singular academic focus provides flexibility in your schedule, for academic pursuits and passions outside the classroom.
Follow your passions. Blaze your own trails.
A residential campus is where you and your amazing peers learn and live together. Living on campus is a central part of CC’s holistic learning experience. Our students live in an eclectic neighborhood of traditional residence halls, historic mansions, and modern apartments. Our campus dining spots are where students come together around from-scratch meals, with options to meet any dietary need. And it’s the people, like you, who are central to creating the multiple “teachable moments” and learning opportunities to grow naturally out of frequent interactions with one another and with faculty and staff.

Welcome Home.
Outdoorsy. And urban. You get the best of both worlds. The CC campus sits at the base of Tava Mountain in Colorado Springs – Colorado’s second-largest city and home to over 300 days of sunshine. You get a vibrant, natural environment and a culturally rich modern city with endless opportunities to connect to the outdoors, our neighbors, and yourself.
Get out and explore.
