Nestled in Colorado's Rockies at 7,700 feet, Western Colorado University turns the surrounding wilderness into your classroom through hands-on programs in natural resources and environmental science. The small-town campus (population 6,000) attracts outdoorsy, independent students who'd rather be studying stream ecology or wildlife management in the field than sitting in lecture halls.
