Casper College School Description

Casper College, Wyoming’s oldest two-year institution, was founded in 1945 on the third floor of Natrona County High School. Natrona County High School is among the major landmarks visible from the current Casper College campus overlooking Casper. The current campus was built in the mid 1950s, and consists of 28 buildings.

With a mission of student success, Casper College provides educational opportunities to improve quality of life and sustainable community building and citizenship. The college is a premier public comprehensive two-year institution that provides academic transfer, vocational, continuing education and basic skills education for the citizens of Casper, Natrona County, the State of Wyoming and the World.

Casper College is a great choice for you if you’re serious about success but don’t want a lifetime of student loan debt! Casper has small town friendliness, but big city convenience. An interstate highway is on one side of town, but dirt roads into the wilderness are on the other side. Stroll through a mall, or hike Casper Mountain!

If you’re deciding based on academics, we’ve got plenty of options. In fact, we have more than 80 programs. Finish your certificate in one year. Finish your associate’s in two years. Stay on campus a little longer and get your four-year degree, or even a master’s with one of our partner institutions. Whichever option you choose, you’ll be learning from the finest faculty who care about you and your future.

Question: Wyoming Life, how is it?

Hi, Im planning on moving to Wyoming from Florida to go to Casper College and live out the rest of my life there, Im 18 and lived in New York and hated the city, And I lived in Florida which I love, Im something like a country boy. What I wanted to know, how is Wyoming, I've seen some beautiful girls there, I know having fun is all about who you know, are there clubs, is it like Florida where you need a car to get everywhere?. I've been wanting to move to Wyoming for the longest time to get away and start a new life for myself. Thanks

Wyoming is a MUCH slower pace of life then what your used to but "YES" there are clubs {bars} and yes there are beautiful girls also {not allot of the like back east though} and like most Sheila's, they are looking for $$$$$$$. A car? NO. A 4x4 pick up? YES! Lots of wide open spaces {read MANY miles of nothing} but it's an awesome place if you want to escape the rat race {we shoot the rats} and hot summers coupled with freezing winters with lots a snow /blizzards {and the reason for 4x4's}. Lots of privacy/hunting/ATVing/Motorcycling/snowmobiling and a very low crime rate. Gang Bangers stick out like a sore thumb there and usually run into "issues" with the local rednecks so they leave post haste.! It will be a shock to you but it's a country of trusting,friendly,help full "Salt of the earth" people BUT if you do one of them wrong YOU WILL BE mentioned to EVERYONE. The gossip line is much faster then the newspaper or the phone even.
