Our graduates are the powerful result of this commitment to high-quality, affordable education.  That's the promise of a public liberal arts college whose value is as enduring as the beautiful mountains that surround us.

Right for You.  Right from the Start.

We provide opportunities for you to engage in student activities -- right from the start -- in ways that are not possible at large universities.  This rare combination of classroom and hands-on learning will be of great value to you and your future employers. 

Schedule a Visit

Deciding where to go to college can be a daunting decision, but what it comes down to is the compatibility between you and the place you'll ultimately choose. The best way to develop an understanding of whether MCLA is right for you is to visit our campus and meet our faculty and students in person.
