Western Colorado University
Located in the city of Gunnison, Western’s campus is situated in the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains. The Rockies provide a rich environment for scientific fieldwork, including the famous Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, founded in 1928 by a Western professor on the ruins of an abandoned mining town.
