The University of Wyoming is a dynamic institution promoting high achievement in a high-plains setting.
UW provides more than 180 different programs of study that allow students to explore their options and find their own special niche. From nursing, to theatre and dance, to law, to chemical engineering, there is something for everyone.
At the University of Wyoming, students receive personalized education in a supportive environment, with regular opportunity for individual interaction with faculty members. Ranked by the Princeton Review as one of the nation's best colleges for 2006, UW is the perfect place for learning in a friendly yet achievement-oriented environment.
As the state’s sole four-year educational institution, the university receives strong support from the state and its residents. There is a dedication to making UW the best it can be in terms of its facilities, programs, people, and aesthetics. Capital improvements on campus are a high priority, reflecting a commitment to maintaining UW’s world-class stature.
The university has seven colleges: Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Law.

UW is a national research university, which means that even undergraduates can have hands-on experience in cutting-edge science research and scholarship.
UW is a leader in the fields of environment and natural resource research, specializing in energy, agriculture, and water-related fields. During its 2006 session, the Wyoming State Legislature established a University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources and appropriated $12.1 million to fund the first two years of a three-year "ramp-up" to full implementation.
Students and faculty have at their disposal an impressive array of research resources on campus, including the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, which in fall 2004 received an international NatureServe Technological Innovation Award. Check out the full array of research resources here.
