The Numbers Tell a Bigger Story
Rankings and recognition are great, but they’re only part of the picture. Discover how immersive learning, exceptional teaching, and a community driven by curiosity shape the CC experience.
CC is one of the top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the country. We got here by doing almost everything differently, including our one class at a time Block Plan. At just over 2,000 students, we’re intentionally small (and anything but average). We attract students from all over the world, but there’s one thing that unites them all—a shared drive to question the obvious, go deeper than expected, and change things after they leave.

Cost shouldn’t determine whether you can attend Colorado College. CC meets 100% of every student's demonstrated financial need—which is just a fancy way of saying that if there's a gap between what college costs and what you can pay, we cover it. We're one of only about 3% of schools in the country that can make that promise. And with $67 million invested in financial aid every year, we back it up.
