The University of Wyoming is a public university. Established in 1886, it is the only four-year public institution of higher education in the state of Wyoming. Funded primarily by state appropriations, it offers a range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. As a land-grant university, it emphasizes research, outreach, and accessible education.
Tuition rates are typically lower for in-state students, reflecting its public status. The university is governed by the Wyoming Board of Trustees and aligns with the mission of serving the educational needs of the state’s residents while contributing to broader academic and research communities.
