Semester & Year Away Programs

With over 150 different opportunities for semester or year-long study away, there is sure to be a program that fits your goals, interests, and desired outcomes. After the list of programs, with links to each, please be sure to read through the recommendations on how to research, apply, and enroll in semesters away. There are also helpful links throughout the page.

We highly recommend reviewing the Billing & Finances Page prior to application to inform yourself of the financial model used with all CC, Partner Program, and Petitioned Program options. If you are not self-funding your CC course of study, we also recommend sharing this information with those who would assist you with funding for a semester away.

Petitioning for a Non-Approved Program

If, for valid academic reasons, you are considering a program that is not currently on our CC-approved list of partner programs or locations, you may petition our Global Education Committee in advance for approval to participate in the program. A successful petition must demonstrate a valid academic need not met through any existing approved program option. Please click the link below to read more about this process. If approved, the external program will be treated as if it were part of the pool, with billing managed by Colorado College, tuition billed by Colorado College, and appropriate courses approved as transfer credit.  Selecting a program outside of the CC-approved partner program list can require additional steps in order to receive transferable credit, but may be an option for a very specialized field of study, study in an academically-necessary location not covered by an approved program, or providing academic opportunities not found within the approved list.
