The vast and sparsely populated state of Wyoming doesn’t have all that many institutions of higher education located in its territory, but that’s not to say that what’s there isn’t any good. In fact, though the full list of colleges and universities in the state isn’t all that long the institutions that are represented have consolidated a very respectable reputation for themselves locally as well as nationally. There is a preponderance of two-year colleges in the state as opposed to four-year colleges, and so people that are looking to get a certificate, diploma or associate degree have got several top-notch options available to them, all in some of the most picturesque settings that the nation has to offer. Following, then, are the state of Wyoming’s most dynamic two-year colleges:

Having been established in 1945, Casper College is currently the largest (as measured by student population, which currently stands at around 4,000) two-year college in the entire state of Wyoming, and it is located in the community of the same name in the very heart of this big state. The college has got more than 50 different possible majors and 30 technical/career programs to choose from. The school is divided into five principal academic divisions, being: the School of Business and Industry, the School of Health Science, the School of Fine Arts and Humanities, the School of Science, and the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. All of the school’s programs are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association.

Students at Casper College have many other opportunities for recreation and enjoyment outside of their academic lives. The school has a handful of athletics teams (known as the Thunderbirds) that compete within the NJCAA. Additionally, the ideal natural setting of central Wyoming implies many other recreational activities during the entire year.

Formerly known as the Wyoming Technical Institute, WyoTech is currently one of the leaders in technical and vocational education in the state, with a student body of roundabout 1,500. Situated in the community of Laramie, in the southeastern area of Wyoming, WyoTech offers two-year programs in the following areas: Automotive, Diesel, Collision, Motorcycle, Marine, HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrician. The college has additional campuses dispersed throughout the nation, in Florida, Pennsylvania, and California as well. Within each trade there are various specializations available: for example within the Automotive department it is possible to specialize in Light-duty Diesel, Applied Service Management and Motorsports Chassis Fabrication; in the Collision department it is possible to concentrate on Trim and Upholstery Technology or Street Road and Custom Fabrication, and so on and so forth. Founded in 1966, the school is operated on a for-profit basis and receives national accreditation.

One of several public two-year colleges in the state, Western Wyoming Community College is located in the state’s southwestern corner in the community of Rock Springs. The campus itself comprises a rather sizable 435 acres and, given the rather harsh winters of this part of Wyoming (which has an elevation of more than 6,000 feet), most of the main campus academic buildings are connected via enclosed hallways, giving it a rather unique appearance. The academic offerings at Western Wyoming Community College include several transfer degrees—transfer agreements exist with the 911吃瓜网 of Wyoming and other four-year schools—as well as a handful of associate degrees and certificate programs. In all, there are programs available in the areas of the Visual & Performing Arts, Technology & Industry, General Studies, Math & Science, Social Sciences, Humanities & Communication, Education, Health Sciences, as well as Business & Computing.

With two principal campuses in Laramie as well as in Cheyenne, the Laramie County Community College has been providing two-year college programs to the surrounding community ever since 1968. The school has annual enrollment levels that hover close to the 5,000 mark, and students get to choose from over 80 different study programs that are housed within five different academic divisions: Arts and Humanities; Education, Natural and Social Sciences; Business, Agriculture and Computer Technology; Health Sciences and Wellness; and Workforce and Community Development. Specific programs range from Agriculture Production Technology to Automotive Body Repair, from Engineering Technology to Equine Studies. Many programs reflect the fact that Wyoming is a rural and heavily agricultural state and help further advance its economy.

Last but not least there is the Central Wyoming College, located in the state’s central community of Riverton. The school’s roughly 2,000 students have various study programs to choose from and the school has a reputation for helping students find flexible and dynamic educational solutions, offering diverse online and distance learning opportunities, dual credit, and continuing education programs. A token sampling of its academic departments includes those of Biological Sciences, Equine Studies, Criminal Justice, Outdoor Education, and Environment, Health and Safety.
