At Fort Lewis College, learning starts with doing: it’s hands-on, personal, and powered by place.Located where the desert meets the Rockies in Durango, Colorado, our campus fuels curiosity and impact. As Colorado’s only public liberal arts college, we emphasize broad, interdisciplinary learning that sharpens critical thinking and adaptability.
Our faculty mentor and collaborate, bringing students into research, creative projects, and real-world problem-solving. Whether launching a business or conducting fieldwork, students graduate with more than a degree—they leave with experience, confidence, and connections.
And with some of the lowest tuition rates in the state, an FLC education is both accessible and invaluable.
