What’s a Block? | Block Blogs

One course for three-and-a-half weeks means we celebrate the arts.

The world-class Colorado College Summer Music Festival fills campus with classical, bluegrass, and jazz music during the month of June and performances are free for CC students, reduced rates for non-CC students.

About the Block Plan

Instead of taking multiple classes at a time, CC students study one course at a time, for three-and-a-half weeks.
