ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½-in-Taos is located on 423 acres in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. The restored 19th-century Fort Burgwin compound and the 13th-century Pot Creek Pueblo archaeological site are both unique and priceless.

For more than 40 years, the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½-in-Taos campus has offered an educational program that combines the classroom with the cultural and natural resources of New Mexico to create a unique learning experience. History comes alive for students as they experience hands-on learning at the Fort Burgwin campus with courses offered on topics ranging from anthropology to statistics, and outdoor activities including river rafting, rock climbing, hiking and fly-fishing.

Life-changing experiences such as the one described above and countless others would not be possible without the faithful support of donors whose generosity continues to expand and enhance ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s New Mexico campus.
