THE
WESTERN COLORADO UNIVERSITY DIFFERENCE
SMALL CLASS SIZES Our small class sizes create personal and impactful learning environments.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING We look to our state-of-the-art facilities, industry connections, and the 2 million acres of public land in our backyard to turn classroom knowledge into hands-on understanding.
AFFORDABLE EDUCATION We aim to make education accessible to everyone, focusing on narrowing the gap between the cost of attendance and the student’s ability to pay.
CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY On and off campus, our friendly and welcoming community guides our students to find belonging, involvement, and ways to explore their passions.
THE MOUNTAINEER SPIRIT Our students, faculty, staff, and alums exhibit bold and adventurous mindsets that encourage them to leap out of their comfort zones and take on any challenge.
OUR LOCATION The Gunnison Valley inspires our education. We live in the ideal scientific and cultural laboratory.
