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.
