The Block Plan supercharges a semester's worth of learning into less than a month. It's intense and rigorous, with each block pushing you to meet full-term academic standards in just weeks. But when you're fully locked in on one thing, you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible.

With the Block Plan, you take one class at a time, eight times per year. You're never pulled in a million different directions. And each 3.5-week block is followed by a five-day Block Break to help reset your brain.

Colorado College occupies the traditional territories of the Nuchu, known today as the Southern Ute Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, and the Northern Ute People. Other tribes have also lived here including the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Comanche—and notably, continue to do so, along with many other Indigenous Peoples. To actively seek social justice, we acknowledge that the land continues to hold the values and traditions of the original inhabitants and caretakers of this land. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors, elders, and youth—past, present, and future.
