A Place To Grow

Fort Collins

We look forward to sharing our scenic and sustainability-minded campus and community with you. Fort Collins is located at the base of the Rocky Mountain Foothills and is one hour from Denver International Airport and Rocky Mountain National Park and two hours from ski areas. We have over 300 days of sunshine per year to hike Horsetooth Rock, enjoy one our many craft brewery patios, picnic along the Cache la Poudre River, bike to nearby historic Old Town and much more.

Our community prides itself on supporting sustainability, innovation and non-profits  – which means ample opportunities exist for real-world sociology experience right in students’ backyards as well as on campus.
