Fort Lewis College professors are Ph.D.s with

a passion to teach, brimming with excitement

about the fields they love. You will not want to miss a

single day of class. They drive a hard bargain in terms of

what they expect you to learn. But they spend countless

hours outside of class working with you one-on-one to

help you master the material. When you stop by their

offices to talk – about anything, everything – you will

not feel that you’re keeping them from doing something

more important. That’s because there is nothing more

important to Fort Lewis College professors than you.

Learn without borDers

Fort Lewis wants to take you places you haven’t been before – new fields, ideas, perspectives, cultures, experiences. In Engineers Without Borders, students from any major can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering faculty and Ecuadoran villagers to build water systems and change lives, the villagers’ and their own.

DisCover your niChe

You know this – “I love art.” But how do you turn something you love into a professional future? Fort Lewis faculty guide you to the academic programs that will leverage your talents, interests, and passions. And that’s how you discover your niche in graphic design.

LaunCh your Career

Problem-solving is at the center of all professional careers. Your major and your liberal arts experiences will prepare you to be a critical and creative problem-solver. Through undergraduate research, internships, community projects, and leadership of student organizations you put your knowledge and skills in motion.
