One distinguishing feature of Colorado College is its Block plan, in which professors teach, and students take, one course at a time. Each block is three and a half weeks long, and professors teach six of the eight blocks in an academic year. Applicants must therefore be committed to high-quality, innovative undergraduate teaching.
Visiting assistant professors and instructors at Colorado College receive competitive salaries, benefits, and professional development opportunities.
The College actively promotes a dynamic and inclusive environment in which students and employees of diverse background, cultures, and perspectives can learn and work. We are also committed to becoming an anti-racist institution in all of our policies, practices, and pedagogies.
