Since its cornerstone was laid in 1923, Adams State College grew from a teachers’ college into a fine liberal arts college. Adams State was recently designated the Regional Education Provider for southern Colorado. Today, students can earn a bachelor’s degree in any of 16 majors, with 28 minors and emphases.
