Since 1976, the University of Wyoming at Casper (UWC), in partnership with Casper College, has offered on-site courses and a slate of university degree programs in Casper. UW-Casper is also the location in Natrona County for statewide degree programs and classes offered through Distance Credit Programs.
UW-Casper was established to meet the needs of students unable to move to Laramie. Some of these students are nontraditional students who may be older or have families, homes, or jobs in the Casper area. UW-Casper is designed to meet the academic needs of students in a setting that provides small class sizes, dedicated staff, and award-winning faculty. Courses are taught by resident and visiting faculty who are regular or part-time members of UW academic departments. A full-service student success office handles admission, registration, financial aid, and advising.
Classes are taught onsite on the Casper College campus. More than 4,000 students have received their UW degrees through UW at Casper support and programs.
UW-Casper also has the Bachelor’s of Applied Science (BAS) program. This fully online program is designed to stack onto an associate’s degree to help persons already in the job market further develop their skills and advance their career potential. There are two areas of concentration available in the BAS, one in Health Services Administration and the other in Organizational Leadership.

If you’re not already in a leadership position, I want you to be able to think beyond your current position, understand why issues you experience in your work environment exist and be able to imagine and offer solutions to those organizational challenges.
