Colorado College
Colorado College was established as a coeducational institution in 1874, two years before Colorado became a state. In the early years, the college gathered a small faculty whose roots ran to traditional New England scholarship.
CC adopted the Block Plan in 1970. The plan divides the academic year into eight three-and-a-half week segments, or blocks. Students take one principal course at a time and professors teach one.
The Block Plan offers the advantage of flexibility. No bells ring. Nothing arbitrarily intrudes after 50 minutes to cut off discussion. An archaeology class can be held at the site of a dig in southeastern Colorado for one block, followed by a second block for laboratory analysis. A biology class might have a week of classroom orientation, then go to the field for two weeks.
