Academic Courses

Our academic curriculum, both the history/theory sequence and the more wide-ranging "topics" courses, attracts and stimulates students from the entire campus. (Read the descriptions of our course offerings.) The Block Plan at Colorado College - taking one course at a time - allows for course trips to the opera in Denver, to churches, synagogues and mosques for Jewish and Islamic music, to Native American pow-wows for American Indian music, to a Hindu temple festival in Bali.

Our faculty, all of whom have earned nationally coveted awards for their specialties, includes music historians, theorists, composers, an ethnomusicologist and artists-in-residence. Our small class size means that our faculty are available to you both as academics and musicians.
