Fort Lewis College

The mission of Fort Lewis College is to open minds and kindle thought and action by instilling in students knowledge, a desire to acquire knowledge, the tools for doing so, and an understanding of how knowledge can be put to use for a common good. The experiences students have here should help them learn to live wisely and should make a significant difference in their futures by enabling them to pursue their own educational goals throughout their lives. They should be able to demonstrate thoughtful scholarship in pursuing and weighing knowledge. They should be able to communicate and cooperate with others. The College should also play an active role in the community and the region as a multifaceted learning resource.

Fort Lewis College has chosen to pursue its mission via its historic role as an undergraduate, public, four-year liberal arts college. Because of the liberal arts focus, we require common general studies courses which include the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and the natural sciences in addition to more specialized junior and senior courses offered through the various majors. Our curriculum is designed both to ensure that students understand the values and assumptions implicit in their major fields of study and to prepare them for a rapidly changing world.

Fort Lewis College offers accessible, high quality, baccalaureate liberal arts education to a diverse student population, preparing citizens for the common good in an increasingly complex world.

Our on-campus living amenities have wonderful views of the La Plata Mountains. We offer double rooms with community bathrooms down the hall, three different types of suite-style rooms and three types of apartments. Apartments are reserved for sophomores, juniors and seniors, students with families and transfer students.
