A Closer Look at Colorado Education: If large universities aren’t your preference, Colorado offers smaller options. For example, in the heart of the Rockies near the Continental Divide you’ll find Western State College of Colorado. Established in 1901, this four-year liberal arts college offers 20 degree programs, is home to about 2,500 students, and boasts a prominent ski team. [Ed.
