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 augmented by a busy outdoor recreation program including hiking, biking, climbing, and camping, and an exciting array of intramural sports. 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 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 visiting professors from other institutions also offer courses. Faculty, as well as students, come from all areas of the United States. Any additional credits taken concurrently with a full-credit course must be authorized by the Dean of the Summer Session. In addition, application materials for the 2001 Summer Session, full course descriptions and additional information about Colorado College will be included in the 2001 Summer Session Catalog, published in December 2000.
