Academics at Mesa State College
Mesa State College offers a broad array of baccalaureate majors, with numerous areas of concentration, and two master's degrees. The College's two-year division, Western Colorado Community College, offers developmental courses and career and technical programs at the certificate and associate-degree level.
Classes are taught by faculty who have chosen undergraduate teaching as the focus of their professional careers, and nearly all programs place practical training — through internships, fieldwork, student teaching, or clinical practice — at the center of students' learning.
With a low student-to-faculty ratio, interaction with students is commonplace and affords faculty the ability to involve undergraduates in challenging research opportunities usually found in graduate programs. The Mesa State campus features current technology and modern facilities, including the vast resources of Tomlinson Library.
