A hands-on environmental education in the heart of the Rocky Mountains

Get more real-life experience in a beautiful mountain environment that's worth protecting. High-alpine forests and meadows that explode with wildflowers. Complex riparian and wetland environments.

Put your passion to work and start a career in:

• Natural resources

You're concerned about the environment. Want to do more than write your congressman about it? The Natural Resource Management program at Colorado Mountain College will give you the knowledge and skills you need to make a real difference.

In addition to the hands-on curriculum and outstanding scenery, you'll have the opportunity to take part in a paid internship. The Natural Resource Management Student Internship (NRMSI) program connects students with governmental and private clients throughout Colorado. It's your chance to work on an active assessment and remediation project, an experience that will set you apart with potential employers.

If you'd like to extend your education, the Natural Resource Management curriculum is designed to transfer to four-year degree programs at Western State College of Colorado and Colorado Mesa University.

This program is offered at Leadville.
