The mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and civil engineering programs at the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø are highly regarded, but we know not every student can live in 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. Our partnership program with Colorado Mesa University gives students the chance to earn a 51³Ô¹ÏÍø mechanical or civil engineering degree entirely in Grand Junction. The first two years of the program are taught by CMU faculty, and the second two years are taught by 51³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty who live in Grand Junction. The partnership follows the same hands-on curriculum as 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, beginning with the earliest freshman classes and culminating in a year-long senior design project.

Through a collaboration between Western Colorado University and the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø College of Engineering and Applied Science, students will be able to obtain bachelor’s of science degrees inÌýmechanical engineering and (launching Fall of 2025) biomedical engineering as graduates of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. With this partnership, they will have the opportunity to complete their first two years as Western students and the balance of their education as 51³Ô¹ÏÍø students, all while remaining on the Western campus in Gunnison, Colorado. Graduates in the partnership will receive a bachelor of science degree and diploma from the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø College of Engineering and Applied Science.
