The College's 90-acre main campus is situated in a quiet residential section of Colorado Springs, within walking distance of downtown. The wilderness setting of the Baca Campus provides a variety of unique educational opportunities for classes of many disciplines. The summer academic schedule is enhanced by an array of outdoor recreation opportunities including hiking, biking, climbing, and camping. During the summer, the campus is host to an internationally famous Summer Music Festival , as well as a Summer Arts Festival featuring theatre, music, film and dance. Completion of each block of coursework earns one unit of Colorado College credit, equivalent to four semester hours .
Students enroll in only one course at a time, and faculty teach only one course per block.
Most faculty in the Summer Session teach regularly at Colorado College, although some visiting faculty, as well as students, come from all areas of the United States. Any additional credits taken concurrently with a 1 unit, full-credit course must be authorized by the Dean of the Summer Session. 2002 Summer Session tuition will be posted as soon as it becomes available. Our open-admission allows students to enroll in any course up to the third day of the block. All courses have open enrollment, but because class size is limited, enrollment closes once they are full.
