Introduction to Casper College



Casper College is one of the largest and most comprehensive community colleges in the region. Established in 1945 as Wyoming’s first junior college and initially located at Natrona County High School, Casper College moved to its current site 10 years later. The campus consists of 28 buildings on more than 200 acres.

Casper College develops and maintains educational programs, student support services, and activities appropriate to the needs of the communities served. The college provides programs that parallel the first two years of a baccalaureate education, prepares students for vocational and professional degrees, and provides valuable lifelong learning opportunities. Through its academic transfer and technical and career programs, Casper College has developed a national reputation for its academic standard and outstanding career programs.
