Find Your Place At Fort Lewis College

Southwestern Colorado's Crossroad of Education and Adventure

Welcome to Fort Lewis College

At Fort Lewis College, learning isn’t passive—it’s personal, hands-on, and powered by place. Nestled between the mountains and desert in Durango, Colorado, our campus is a catalyst for discovery and impact. As Colorado’s only public liberal arts college, we believe in broad, interdisciplinary learning that sharpens your ability to think critically and adapt to a changing world.

Our professors don’t just lecture; they mentor and collaborate, bringing you into their research, creative work, and real-world problem-solving. Whether you’re engineering sustainable solutions, launching a business, producing original films, or conducting field research, you’ll graduate with more than a degree—you’ll have the experience, confidence, and connections to go anywhere. And with one of the lowest tuitions of any four-year public college in Colorado, an FLC education is both accessible and invaluable.
