About This School

Central Wyoming College is a public community college in Riverton, Wyoming. In addition to its main campus, the college provides online classes and has outreach centers in Jackson, Lander, Dubois, and the Wind River Indian Reservation.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start close to home — with a median debt of just $5,500 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. The 90% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll tend to stick around, which is encouraging, but the 40% graduation rate means a lot of students don't finish, so you'll want to be intentional about staying on track. The median earnings of $33,100 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and what comes next after completing your degree.
