About

Colorado College’s Pre-College Programs offer high school students intensive academic experiences aligned with the college’s distinctive Block Plan structure. Organized as the Pre-College Block, students apply to specific for-credit courses that emphasize immersion and depth. Participants earn 0.75 units (3 semester hours) of transferable academic credit in fields ranging from environmental science to entrepreneurship. Admission is selective, based on academic readiness and a holistic application review. The program provides a fully residential experience on the Colorado Springs campus, mirroring undergraduate life through block-style scheduling and close faculty interaction in small seminar settings. The program is open to national and international students, making it best suited for those seeking a rigorous introduction to liberal arts pedagogy and a head start on college-level transcript acceleration.
