What FISKE Has to Say
The Block Plan is CC’s calling card. It is great for in-depth study and field trips but less suited to projects that take an extended period of time. The Rockies draw outdoor enthusiasts and East Coasters who want to ski. CC is the only top liberal arts college between Iowa and the Pacific. Colorado Springs is an ideal location at the base of the Rockies.
