About the University
Fort Lewis College is a public liberal arts institution located in Durango, Colorado, and is the only four-year college offering graduate studies in the Four Corners region. The college has evolved through several times — from a military post to an Indian boarding school, then to a two-year college, and ultimately achieving full four-year institution status in 2002. Its campus sits about 6,872 feet above sea level, overlooking the Animas River Valley and the town of Durango, offering students a unique blend of academic opportunity and access to outdoor recreation and natural beauty.
The undergraduate and graduate programs are divided into five colleges:
- Arts & Science
- Katz School of Business
- School of Education
Fort Lewis College offers students a distinctive blend of academic excellence, cultural diversity, and outdoor adventure. With small class sizes and strong programs in environmental science, business, education, and the arts, students gain hands-on learning through research and fieldwork. Set in the scenic San Juan Mountains, Fort Lewis provides a close-knit community and access to Durango’s vibrant outdoor lifestyle, making it an ideal place for students seeking both academic and personal growth.
