School Overview

The Adams Experience

At Adams State, your educational journey isn’t bound by classroom walls. It spills over and blends with your extracurricular interests, student life activities, and the San Luis Valley community-at-large. We call it The Adams Experience.

On paper, it’s a framework for learning that incorporates evidence-based High Impact Practices in what you learn, how you learn, and how your learning is assessed. That means writing-intensive courses, the opportunity to do original research, collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, and bonding experiences with your peers.
