About the University of Wyoming: Nestled amid the beauty of two mountain ranges in southeastern
Wyoming, you will find the nationally recognized teaching and
research institution, the University of Wyoming (UW).
Established as a land-grant institution in 1886 when Wyoming was
still a territory, UW has since grown to nearly 200 areas of study,
drawing approximately 10,800 students from all 50 states and 83
countries. UW is known for its accomplished faculty and world-
class facilities, its low student/faculty ratio, and quality
undergraduate and graduate online and classroom-based
programs within its 11 colleges and schools. To learn more,

Throughout its existence, UW has been the only four-year public
university in the state of Wyoming, and it maintains close
relationships with the state’s eight community colleges. UW’s
global impact begins with innovative undergraduate and graduate
research opportunities and extends through state and federal
partnerships and recent initiatives such as the School of
Computing, Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation and
Governor Gordon’s Wyoming Innovation Partnership. UW has
played important roles in the lives of students and Wyoming
residents for 138 years. Outside Magazine identified Laramie as
“the perfect affordable mountain town,” noting the cost of living;
access to outdoor activities; food, art and culture; and the
influence of UW, including its academic and other offerings.
Furthermore, Wyoming ranked #5 in the U.S. News and World
Report’s “Best States for Higher Education”. In the area of tuition
and fees, Wyoming ranks No. 2 in part because of its low cost for
University of Wyoming students. UW’s tuition and fees for resident
undergraduates are the lowest in the nation among doctoral
degree-granting institutions. The University community is working
collaboratively to help the University reinforce and strengthen its
reputation as it adapts to changing economic factors in the state
and beyond. The University’s strategic roadmap, “Forward for
Wyoming 2023+: A Strategic Plan for the University of Wyoming,”
demonstrates that it is an exciting time to be a part of UW as the
institution embarks on ambitious and impactful initiatives.
Location: Laramie, Wyoming, a town with approximately 31,000
people, has a unique blend of sophistication and Western
hospitality. UW not only provides an environment for success but
also offers varied academic and lifestyle opportunities. Named the
