COLORADO COLLEGE: GENERAL STUDIES
SUMMER 2008
THE BLOCK PLAN - ONE THING AT A TIME
One distinctive feature of Colorado College is the calendar format, formally known as the Block Plan. This one-course-at-a-time system takes place year round, not only in the summer. During the summer, students focus on one subject at a time for three weeks.
There are a variety of course selections available to high school students which involve living on campus. A recommendation from a high school counselor is required.
THE COLLEGE AHEAD! PROGRAM
Juniors can try a pre-college course, receive help with the college application process, and focus on skills that make college a positive experience. This two week experience is free to students chosen for the program due to a generous private donation.
Program Dates: June 24 - July 7
Application Deadline: 4/18/2008
THE SOUTHWEST HIGH SCHOLARS PROGRAM
