If you’re looking for a college that challenges the norm, stick around. At just over 2,000 students, class rosters here stay small on purpose—so you have the space to ask bolder questions, dig into complexity, and actually be heard while you’re doing it. It’s what draws curious, driven students from every corner of the world—and why Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ ranks among the top liberal arts colleges in the country.

The Numbers Tell a Bigger Story

Rankings and recognition are great, but they’re only part of the picture. Discover how immersive learning, exceptional teaching, and a community driven by curiosity shape the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ experience.

Cost should never get in the way of your education.

Cost shouldn’t determine whether you can attend Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ meets 100% of every student’s demonstrated financial need—which is just a fancy way of saying that if there’s a gap between what college costs and what you can pay, we cover it. We’re one of only about 3% of schools in the country that can make that promise. And with $67 million invested in financial aid every year, we back it up.

LEARN TO MOVE AT THE SPEED OF LIFE.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ doesn’t have a "typical" alum because there are no "typical" students here. Each and every student who walks our halls follows a path as unique as they are.

You could end up as CEO of Children’s Hospital Colorado, like Jena Hausmann ’93. Or as President of the National Academy of Sciences, like Marcia McNutt ’74. Or as Director of Sports Tourism & Olympic Engagement for the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation, like Davis Tutt ’15. Or even as Director of Strategic Initiatives & Finance (SIFI) at the Colorado Energy Office, like Mike Turner ’04.

The real question isn’t, "Where have Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ graduates gone?" It’s, "Where do I want to go?"

Have questions? We have real people standing by.

Our admission process is personal from the start. Real people are here to answer your questions, offer guidance, and help you navigate every step along the way. 

Every prospective student is assigned a regional counselor who’s genuinely excited to connect. And if you’d rather hear it straight from a current student first, our Admission Ambassadors love talking about what it’s actually like to be here.

READY TO APPLY?

You’re not just an application number here. Because Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is small, your admission counselor will actually know your name—and probably remember your essay—by the time you’re on campus. We can’t wait to read your application, and we’re here to help if you have any questions.
