The University of Wyoming sits on Wyoming�s high plains between the Laramie and Snowy Range mountains. The scenic 735-acre campus is located in Laramie, a community of 30,000 people. Proximity to the Rocky Mountains and metropolitan Denver gives over 13,000 UW students access to the best of both worlds. Along with nearly 200 campus organizations and clubs, students are close to skiing, climbing, biking and many recreational activities.
While UW is known for study in many scientific, professional, and academic fields, the University maintains a 14:1 student to faculty ratio and an average class size of 29 students. Seven colleges offer over 190 different areas of study. New construction, including state-of-the-art buildings for Coe Library and the Colleges of Business and Health Sciences demonstrates UW�s dedication to facilities that are appropriate for learning and scholarly work. Exceptional programs include geology, engineering, and wildlife and range management.
