Collegiate Quiz Bowl - CQB - Cowley College
This student activity was incorporated by the Kansas State Department of Education to showcase quality teaching and learning at the community college level.
In the fall and spring semesters, students participate in scrimmages and regional and state competitions with other community colleges in Kansas. At the state competition, student teams have the opportunity to win from $400 to $800.
Since no individual is an expert in all subject areas, this is a collaborative team effort.
Team Registration Forms
