Features:

Colorado College began a unique program in 1970 by adopting the Block Plan. The academic year is divided into 8 3 1/2 week blocks. Classes are kept small; the average size is 16 students. Formal lectures are rare, and seminar discussions and active laboratories are the norm.

Courses taught under the Block Plan are designed to cover as much of a subject as a course in a conventional semester or quarter. One unit of credit is equal to four semester hours. Each block ends at noon on the fourth Wednesday, giving students four-and-a-half day mini-vacations called “block breaks.”
