About This School

Northern Wyoming Community College District is a public institution located in Sheridan, Wyoming with approximately 1,610 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $4,830 per year. Typical graduates earn $39,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

This small Wyoming community college is a genuinely affordable option — graduates leave with just $5,500 in median debt, which is remarkably low compared to most institutions. The net price of $8,890/year makes it accessible for students watching their budget, though the median earnings of $39,600 a decade out suggest this path works best for those with a clear local or trade-focused career goal rather than high-earning ambitions. Worth considering if you want to minimize debt while building practical skills or planning to transfer, but do your homework on completion rates and specific program outcomes before committing.
