One Block Study Away, A CC Original
You have questions. Sure. That's natural. Blocks Away are a concept built out of Colorado College's unique block plan. We hope we have the answers you are looking for. Review the topics below and find out all you could ever want to know about our faculty-led, short-duration, intensive, immersive, blocks away and abroad.
A block away is exactly what it sounds like, a Colorado College course, taught by Colorado College faculty and sitting squarely in the curriculum of the college, but offered somewhere other than on our Colorado Springs campus. While many on-campus courses may include local or regional field experiences, CC Block Away是一门课程,其中很大一部分课程在美国或世界各地的另一个地方教授. 这些旅行项目可以包括10天或更长时间的标准时段,或者它可能意味着, and often does, that the entire block is taught at a different location. Whether it is in other domestic destinations such as New York, Chicago, New Orleans, LA or Hawaii, or an international destination such as recent blocks in Paris, Athens, Florence, Patagonia, Costa Rica, Tanzania, India, or India.
Whereas some universities offer 1-course short-programs only in January or May, at Colorado College, 从9月到夏季的每个街区都是一个机会,让学生可以在校外选修一门课程,将体验式学习与从自然科学到人文科学的研究领域相结合, arts, and everything in between. In a typical year, 赌博正规的十大网站在其8个小学学年中提供12-18个学习单元, so any time of year could be the time to explore the world through a CC Block Away.
All CC Blocks Away are Colorado College credit, no transfer required, and all are taught by CC faculty and filled with your fellow CC students, creating a learning community that shares the experience with you. It is a unique study away opportunity, perfect for both the new traveler and the experienced globetrotter.
Colorado College offers a wide and varying selection of blocks taught off-campus every year. 下一年的分班将在1月份公布,所有分班的申请“窗口”将在2月初的“学习博览会”上开放. The primary application window runs through February and March. 所有在这个窗口期间申请下一学年的学生(从8月的第1街区一直到5月的第8街区)都会被自动审查,以获得潜在的资助奖励,以支付旅行费用.
The Application Process involves the following steps:
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS YEAR'S BLOCKS TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE.
ONCE BLOCKS FOR THE NEXT YEAR ARE ANNOUNCED, YOU CAN VISIT THEM HERE.
4. Class Enrollment: Once all required forms are uploaded on Summit, 在秋季或春季的标准预注册和注册期间,学生将收到注册课程所需的部门同意(COD)代码. Since only students who have been accepted into the travel program can enroll in the course, there is no need to use registration points or to be concerned about the course closing.
All Off-Campus Blocks charge a program fee above the semester's tuition and room & board fees. This additional fee includes all on-site travel expenses (lodging, ground transportation, excursions, instruction, and international travel and health insurance when applicable). Airfare is not included in the program fee, but is calculated as part of the overall cost for aid purposes, 确保助学金涵盖计划费用和预期计划费用的同等百分比.
Aid awards offset the additional program fee for the block away, and if the award is larger than the program's fee, 额外的资金将提供给学生,以抵消到项目目的地的机票费用.
