Education beyond the classroom
Students immerse themselves in academic experiences that connect rigorous research with the rich cultural and natural environment of the Four Corners region. Whether analyzing microbiomes in local waters, leading the charge in quantum computing education, or engaging in Indigenous language revival, FLC offers dynamic opportunities where learning extends beyond the classroom into the landscapes and communities that define the area. With close faculty mentorship, students dive into hands-on undergraduate research, from dark matter exploration to environmental sustainability, preparing for impactful careers and graduate studies.
