A new partnership between Fort Lewis College and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to develop a four-year undergraduate nursing degree program in Southwest Colorado is underway.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with the health care visionaries at CU Anschutz to bring this caliber of nursing education to Southwest Colorado,” said Cheryl Nixon, FLC provost and vice president of academic affairs, in a news release. “We are aligned in our community-focused values, and this collaboration will leverage the unique Indigenous perspective and sense of place that FLC brings into all of our academics.”
