| About this School |
| The Colorado College is a private four-year, co-educational liberal arts college located at the foot of Pikes Peak, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The school enrolls approximately 2,000 undergraduates each year to its 90 acre (360,000 m²) campus, 70 miles (100 km) south of the capital city Denver, with a view of the Rocky Mountains to the west. The American Numismatic Association claims to be "on the campus of Colorado College," but might be technically said to be immediately south of it. The current President of the college is Richard Celeste, most notably the former Governor of Ohio, ambassador to India, and former Director of the Peace Corps.
