Colorado College Summer Programs include a full academic course schedule at the undergraduate and graduate levels, programs and courses for pre-college and community students, summer conferences for external groups, and a full Summer Festival of the Arts. The academic program offered during Summer Session supports the unique experience of the Block Plan as an innovative extension of the college's deep committment to liberal learning. The Block Plan allows for intensive course study without interruptions from other academic obligations, with an emphasis on extended laboratory and on-location fieldwork as well as international and other off-campus programs. Our pre-college programs are dedicated to providing academic opportunities for high school students interested in higher education. Whether these students participate in regularly scheduled classes or bridge programs designed to introduce students from backgrounds where postsecondary education is not the norm to higher education, we support the recruitment of high school students for admission to Colorado College as full-time students.
