Colorado College

The Colorado College is a private four-year, co-educational liberal arts college located at the foot of Pikes Peak, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The school enrolls approximately 1,900 undergraduates each year to its 90 acre (360,000 m²) campus, 70 miles (100 km) south of the capital city Denver, with a view of the Rocky Mountains to the west. The American Numismatic Association claims to be "on the campus of Colorado College,"http://www.money.org/location.html but might be technically said to be immediately south of it. The current President of the college is Richard Celeste, most notably the former Governor of Ohio and ambassador to India.

Academics

Colorado College, or "CC" as it is familiarly known by its community, is well-known for its "block plan"; students study only one subject for three and a half weeks (blocks are only three weeks long in Summer School, in which there are also graduate blocks of differing lengths), which allows for more lab time, field trips, and other learning experiences.
