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.

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.

Cost should never get in the way of your education.

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.

LEARN TO MOVE AT THE SPEED OF LIFE.

CC doesn't have a "typical" alum because there are no "typical" students here. Each and every student who walks our halls follows a path as unique as they are.

You could end up as CEO of Children's Hospital Colorado, like Jena Hausmann ’93. Or as President of the National Academy of Sciences, like Marcia McNutt ’74. Or as Director of Sports Tourism & Olympic Engagement for the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation, like Davis Tutt ’15. Or even as Director of Strategic Initiatives & Finance (SIFI) at the Colorado Energy Office, like Mike Turner ’04.

The real question isn't, "Where have CC graduates gone?" It's, "Where do I want to go?"

Have questions? We have real people standing by.

Our admission process is personal from the start. Real people are here to answer your questions, offer guidance, and help you navigate every step along the way. 

Every prospective student is assigned a regional counselor who's genuinely excited to connect. And if you'd rather hear it straight from a current student first, our Admission Ambassadors love talking about what it's actually like to be here.
