| About this School |
| Fort Lewis College is a small state-supported liberal arts college located in Durango, Colorado, in the United States. Additional offerings include schools of education and business administration. Enrollment in 2002 was about 4,000 students.
Generally admission requires a 2.0 grade point average and either SAT scores of 1040 or more or an ACT score of 23 or more. Applicants with lower test scores are admitted with higher gradepoint averages. Others may be considered for admission. Any Native American who meets admission qualifications is excused from paying tuition.
Fort Lewis originated when the U.S. Army post of the same name was abandoned and a school for Native Americans established on the site. In 1911 courses in agriculture were added with some college courses in 1925. In 1933 the curriculum was limited to college level courses and in 1948 Fort Lewis became a junior college. It moved to Durango in 1956 first granting baccalaureate degrees in 1964. Fort Lewis was part of the Colorado State University System under the governance of the State Board of Agriculture. An independent board of trustees currently governs Fort Lewis College.
