Thinking about visiting? CC sits at the base of the Rocky Mountains with a straight-shot view of 14,115-foot snow-capped Pikes Peak and what feels like endless sunshine and clear, blue skies. It's objectively stunning. No photo has ever done it justice, which is why we think you should just come see it for yourself.

Why Visit

Seeing CC changes everything.

The views are stunning—we won't pretend otherwise. But ask any CC student what made them choose this place, and they'll tell you it wasn't Pikes Peak (although it certainly doesn't hurt). It was the energy, the rhythm, the community. Most students say the visit is what made their decision easy.

The Place

Three miles from the Rockies. Three blocks to downtown. Here, we treat the whole city as a classroom.

The Perspective

Meet the students, faculty, and staff who make CC what it is. Curious, driven, and genuinely one of a kind—the people here make you feel right at home.
The CC Community

The Block Plan

See what one class at a time actually looks like in practice. It's different from anything you've experienced—and that's exactly the point.
The Block Plan
Visit in Person

Come see what all the fuss is about.

Come walk the campus. We'll show you around. Most weekdays and select Saturdays, we open our doors to interested students and families. We never get tired of showing this place off—and something tells us you won't get tired of seeing it either.

Plan your visit

Make a weekend of it.

We're biased, but Colorado Springs is worth more than a quick in-and-out. We put together a visitor's guide with our favorite spots around the city, as well as directions, parking, and a friendly reminder that 6,035 feet above sea level is no joke. Drink water before you arrive. You’ll thank us later.

CC Visits You

We go where the students are.

Our admission counselors don't spend all their time in Colorado Springs. They're out there, visiting high schools, showing up at college fairs, and hosting events across the country. And for the times when in-person just isn't possible, we bring CC to you online. Want us at your school or college fair? Get in touch! We'd love to make it happen.

College Fairs

Stop by our table if we're in your area! Grab some CC swag, ask your questions, and get a feel for what makes CC different. We promise we're more fun than the average college fair table.

Regional Events

From info sessions to special events, we host gatherings across the country throughout the year. Your chance to meet our team and hear all about CC.

Hear from students

We could tell you. But they say it better.

Most of us read reviews before we buy something. Shouldn't you do the same for college? We think so. That's why we offer multiple ways to hear straight from the people who actually go here—before you ever set foot on campus.
