SUMMER BLOCKS AWAY: 2025 INFORMATION
APPLICATION & FINANCIAL AID: Apply on the Global Education SUMMIT site between November 21 and January 15 for full aid consideration. While some programs may accept late applicants, many may fill their rosters and waitlists from the initial pool and late applicants risk not be approved for the program or for aid. Students who apply during the primary application window will be reviewed for aid eligibility and will be notified of their aid status prior to the March 1st withdrawal deadline. Aid awards can range from 20% to 90% of the anticipated program cost, which includes the program fee and anticipated airfare charges. For the 2-block Spain program, aid can also apply to the 2nd block of tuition billed for the program if students have 2 aid awards to be applied to this 2-block program.
Global Education always recommends that students apply as early in the application window as possible. Many programs use rolling admissions and can potentially close before the January window closure. It is always best to speak with the faculty leader(s) about your interest, and to apply as early in the window as you are able to give yourself the best opportunity to join a given program.TUITION & THE WILD CARD: All summer courses have a summer tuition charge in addition to program fee for the off-campus course. In 2024 this charge was $6,000 per course. We anticipate the same rate for 2025. If a summer 2025 course is the first summer course taken by a student at CC, the Wild Card will automatically be applied to the student's account. This grant offsets the tuition charge for 1 block of summer coursework, acting essentially as one tuition-free summer course. The Wild Card does not impact the program fee for the course and cannot be applied to any charges other than CC summer tuition for the first summer course in which a CC student enrolls.
WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE: Students who apply to, and are accepted into a summer block away may withdraw up until March 1st with no financial commitment to the program. After that date a withdrawal can result in a portion of the program fee being charged to the student. Nonrefundable or Billed charges will increase closer to the program's departure date. See our Billing & Finances page for full details.
The Wild Card is a unique tuition waiver designed to assist students with completion of their degree within 4 years by allowing for one tuition-free summer course at the College. Essentially the Wild Card waives the first CC Summer Course into which any student has registered and enrolled. This means that whether it is an on-campus course at our Colorado Springs campus or one of the many off-campus "study away" courses which the College operates each year, if it is a student's first summer CC course, there will be no tuition charge.
Who is eligible for the Wild Card?
After one completed semester of study at Colorado College, each degree-seeking Colorado College student is eligible for the Wild Card, which can be used once before graduation to cover the tuition for one summer block of regularly scheduled classes.
Do I have to apply for the Wild Card?
Students do not need to complete an application or notify student accounts to use the Wild Card, it is applied to the student account automatically after the student has registered for their first CC summer course.
How does it appear on my CC Billing Statement?
The summer tuition charge and an equal credit will appear on the student's CC billing statement, showing that summer tuition has been billed and then removed. The Wild Card will not impact, reduce, or remove the program fee associated with an off-campus summer study away block.
Can the Wild Card be applied to Study Away Program Fees for summer courses?
No. The Wild Card is exclusively a waiver of the tuition charge for the summer course (on campus or off) and does not apply to any additional charges for field study, lab fees, or the program fee and airfare charges associated with off-campus summer blocks.
Can I use the Wild Card for study at another university or on a non-CC summer study away/abroad program?
The Wild Card is exclusively for CC summer courses and cannot be transferred to cover costs at another university or study away provider program.
Can I use the Wild Card towards the program fees associated with study abroad during the school year?
The Wild Card applies only to the tuition fee for a students first CC summer course and cannot be applied to cover other expenses related to summer study away or study away courses throughout the school year.
Can I request a second Wild Card for a second summer course?
Each student at CC is eligible for one Wild Card grant, so a second grant is not available. Students who enroll in a second summer course will be expected to pay the summer tuition charge.
Can I use the Wild Card to enroll in summer courses in the summer after my May graduation or if I am transferring out of the college the next fall semester?
Registration for coursework at CC the following fall is a prerequisite for Wild Card eligibility, so transferring students lose their Wild Card Eligibilty. The same is true of students scheduled to graduate in May, however, in the event that the student requires the summer course to complete their degree program (32 units of study, completed major, completion of all graduation requirements), the student may petition the Dean of the College for permission to waive the Fall Enrollment requirement and complete their degree using the summer course to which the Wild Card would be attached. This is most commonly used when a student has completed 31 units of credit and requires only 1 more unit of CC coursework to meet all degree requirements.

COLORADO COLLEGE 2025 SUMMER BLOCKS AWAY
This course explores the arts and culture of Bali, Indonesia, on location in Bali. Music, dance, theater, and visual arts are ubiquitous in Bali, where artistic production is far out of proportion to the size and population of the island. The Hindu-Balinese religion (Agama Hindu Dharma) requires performing and visual arts for the successful completion of the thousands of ceremonies undertaken each year, and therefore virtually every Balinese person is a dancer, musician, actor, visual artist, or poet, and many individuals are equally competent in several media. The unique history and culture of Bali are best understood through the arts, which connect past to present, self to community, and religion to reality. Students and faculty will live and study at Sanggar Manik Galih, a music and dance studio located in the Lasmawan family compound in Bangah, a small village in central Bali. The compound has been outfitted with a gamelan angklung, gamelan gong kebyar, gamelan gender wayang, gamelan balaganjar, and gamelan joged bumbung for course use. The daily class schedule in Bali will include lectures and discussion of readings on Balinese history, culture, arts, and the environment followed by practical instruction in traditional music, dance, cooking, and the arts. Students will experience Balinese arts and culture through participation in daily life, attendance at a wide range of performances, and lecture-demonstrations by a variety of artists and craftsmen.

Dr. Heidi R. Lewis took students to Berlin for the first time in 2014. In the tradition of Black radical intellectuals like Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Dr. Angela Y. Davis, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Audre Lorde, students examine the experiences of marginalized people in Germany, particularly how they resist and reproduce oppression through multidisciplinary critical perspectives—namely Black Feminism, Transnational Feminism, and Critical Race Theory.

Heightened Physical & Psychological Requirements for All Study Away: Study Away or Abroad can be a very different experience than an on-campus course, requiring both physical and mental adjustments which may not be typical for your on-campus experience. This includes requirements for physical activity such as more extensive physical movement (walking, touring, extended sedentary time during travel, etc.), requirements to manage luggage, often on uneven terrain such as cobblestone streets or buildings without elevators, or locations with limited medical facilities, potential extremes of weather and temperature. Housing options are also significantly different from an on-campus experience. Some programs will use family homestays while others will require students live in pairs, triples, and quads. Travel is also inherently a stressful alteration to your normal routines, with greater flexibility, adaptability and resilience required, whether it is dealing with distinct cultures, language differences, feelings of “otherness” or lack of belonging, or simply greater ambiguity and unfamiliarity with surroundings. We recommend that all students consider these realities of study away and abroad as they consider programs. Below we will list any known expectations which the faculty have identified for their specific course.
Expectations for Study on this Program: This course requires 2–3-hour walking tours approximately twice per week. These are largely urban walking tours which are taken at a leisurely pace.

Scholars have long considered fairy tales and folklore to be valuable portals into the values and anxieties of the cultures that created them. In this course we will apply the analytical skills we develop through close readings of French fairy tales—from the original versions of familiar stories like “Cinderella” to lesser-known tales like “The Pig King”—to the castles, cathedrals and other monuments we visit in the Loire Valley (a beautiful region located an hour southwest of Paris). Class excursions to the chateaux, vineyards, and villages of this region will bring to life the grandeur and the contradictions of 16th and 17th-century France: a time of new technologies and amazing artistic innovation, but also of bloody wars of religion and emerging authoritarian régimes. Note: The course will be conducted entirely in English, but priority will be given to students with experience studying French.

What does it mean to be “religious” in the ancient Mediterranean? How do myth and ritual operate in this context? How did Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians understand and express their relationship with the divine realm? To address these questions and others, this course explores various aspects of religious life in the ancient world through study and exploration of sites in Greece, including relevant relevant literary and material evidence. As we examine diverse beliefs and practices, we will attend to how religion intersected with political, social, and economic facets of ancient life.

In this course we will study the history of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldforf schooling in Europe: including the social and political contexts during which these pedagogical approaches were formed, and the problems their founding theorists sought to remediate. We will then examine how these pedagogies made their way to the United States, and the ways in which they have been interpreted, and sometimes appropriated, to construct and reproduce a narrative of childhood that, in capitalist, market-based schooling system, idealize the child in progressive schoolings as wealthy, white, and non-disabled.

Survey of the archaeology, art, and history of ancient Greece and Rome and their influence from antiquity to the modern period. This course surveys the art, architecture, archaeology and history of Greece and Rome from their origins in Bronze Age to their transformation in the late Roman Empire using methods of history, art history, archaeology and literary studies.
Includes the study of ancient Greek cities and sanctuaries, the spread of Hellenism, and the formation of an imperial visual language under Alexander the Great and Roman emperors. In addition, the influence of Etruscan and Greek art in the Roman Republic will be investigated, as well as Imperial monuments in the city of Rome and throughout the empire as instruments of power.

This class will introduce students to the work of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries by experiencing productions of his works and by exploring the cities and the countryside where he lived and wrote. In addition to introducing students to the particular constraints and demands of the theatrical medium, and to the cultural particularities of early modern England, we will attend a number of productions and thus seek to raise the question of how a dramatic text has (and can be) adapted.
COURSE FULL TITLE: Shakespeare and London
COURSE NUMBER: EN225/EN405
FACULTY LEADER(S): Prof. Steven Hayward
PREREQUISITES: None
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS MET: Historical Period Course within English major/minor
COLLEGEWIDE REQUIREMENTS MET: None
COURSE LOCATION: London & Stratford, England
COURSE DATES: June 23-July 9 (Block B)
COURSE COSTS
Program Fee: The Full fee is $5,780, however, thanks to a generous gift, this program will charge students only $1,600, with most of that total refunded back to students in the form of a London meal allowance. Fee includes all lodging, meals (group & individual), excursions, guest speakers, ground transportation, and international health & travel insurance coverage. Airfare is not included in the program fee, but is accounted for within aid awards. Students are responsible for booking their own airfare within parameters set by the course faculty for arrival and departure dates.
Summer Tuition: $6,000 or use of the Wild Card Grant (see below)
Withdrawal Charges: Due to the nonrefundable nature of many program bookings, should a student withdraw after the March 1st deadline, they will be charged 25% of the full program cost, not the reduced $1,600 fee. Withdrawals during Block 8 will require a charge of 75% of the total program fee cited above. This means that while students attending the program will be billed only $1,600, any who withdraw after March 1st will be billed $1,437 and those who withdraw in Block 8 will be billed $4,312
WILD CARD: All students enrolling in their first CC summer course automatically receive a Wild Card grant which offsets (removes) the summer tuition charge. Students who have already utilized their Wild Card should anticipate paying the full summer tuition charge as other summer aid does not impact this cost.
SUMMER BLOCK AWAY AID: All students approved to join a CC Summer Block Away are automatically reviewed for aid eligibility. Aid awards range from 20% to 90% of the anticipated program travel cost (program fee + estimated airfare). Students who receive a block aid award will be notified of the coverage total for their award.

The CC Summer in Spain program has its base in Soria in collaboration with the Centro Internacional Antonio Machado and offers 3 levels of Spanish: Beginner (SP111), Intermediate (SP 211) and Advanced (SP 305 and SP 306). Soria is a culturally rich and traditional small city that is off the beaten tourist path in the region of Castile—birthplace of the Spanish language. Soria is the perfect setting to develop your Spanish quickly when you fully immerse in the language and culture from the first day you arrive. Students live with host families and participate in the city life during 2 blocks of classes. In addition, the program incorporates multiple excursions to learn about the history and cultures of Spain to places such as Madrid and San Sebastian.

Heightened Physical & Psychological Requirements for All Study Away: Study Away or Abroad can be a very different experience than an on-campus course, requiring both physical and mental adjustments which may not be typical for your on-campus experience. This includes requirements for physical activity such as more extensive physical movement (walking, touring, extended sedentary time during travel, etc.), requirements to manage luggage, often on uneven terrain such as cobblestone streets or buildings without elevators, or locations with limited medical facilities, potential extremes of weather and temperature. Housing options are also significantly different from an on-campus experience. Some programs will use family homestays while others will require students live in pairs, triples, and quads. Travel is also inherently a stressful alteration to your normal routines, with greater flexibility, adaptability and resilience required, whether it is dealing with distinct cultures, language differences, feelings of “otherness” or lack of belonging, or simply greater ambiguity and unfamiliarity with surroundings. We recommend that all students consider these realities of study away and abroad as they consider programs. Below we will list any known expectations which the faculty have identified for their specific course.
Expectations for Study on this Program: Living with a host family is a requirement for this program, requiring flexibility and adaptability to new living dynamics and new cultural norms. Additionally, students must abide by host family rules. The program also requires extensive walking in all weather conditions (rain, heat). Students who may require support due to these expectations should speak with Prof. Ruiz prior to application to ensure that appropriate support in Spain will be possible.
COURSE COSTS
Program Fee: $7,200. Fee includes all lodging, meals (group & individual), excursions, guest speakers, ground transportation, and international health & travel insurance coverage. Airfare is included in the program fee, using a voucher system, but does require all students to include a mandatory group flight to Madrid as part of the arrival routing. Students are responsible for booking their own airfare within parameters set by the course faculty.
Summer Tuition: $6,000 per unit of credit. $12,000 total for the 2-unit program. Wild Card may apply to 1 block of tuition (see below)
WILD CARD: All students enrolling in their first CC summer course automatically receive a Wild Card grant which offsets (removes) the summer tuition charge. The Wild Card can cover the first unit of tuition, but the second would still be billed to the student. Students who have already utilized their Wild Card should anticipate paying the full summer tuition charge for both blocks.
AID USE FOR THE SPAIN PROGRAM: Students who receive need-based aid to attend Colorado College are eligible for 2 Block Away Aid Awards, ranging from 20%-90% of the estimated program total cost. To receive aid for both the program fee and the 2nd unit of summer tuition, students would use both of these awards.
A student who has two aid awards available to them and are selected for aid will receive both aid awards, one applying to the program fee and the other applying to cover the same percentage of the 2nd unit of tuition, with the expectation that the Wild Card would cover the first unit of tuition.
Students who have already utilized one of their 2 Block Away Aid Awards can receive only 1 Block Aid award, which will support 20%-90% of the program fee, but will not remove the charge for the 2nd unit of tuition. Again, students who also have already utilized their Wild Card for an earlier summer course will be billed for both units of summer tuition ($12,000) without support from their aid award.

This course explores the roots and branches of folk music in the U.S. with an emphasis on the bluegrass tradition. The musical roots of folk and bluegrass originate from a diversity of influences including, Irish, Scottish, and African cultures as well as musical genres such as blues, gospel, country, jazz, and in recent decades rock, pop and funky eclectic sounds. We will explore these influences on folk and bluegrass, which have broadened, narrowed, and combined over the decades. Given the inherently social nature of the subject, students consider music of the past and present through a combination of performance, readings, and listening assignments. Instrumental and vocal tutorials provide both music instruction and a sense of the development of the tradition over time. Emphasis is placed on composition, arrangement, and performance of folk and bluegrass music. This class fulfills the performance-oriented course requirement in the music major. 1 unit.
