Projected Costs Between $37,072 and $188,041 For a Four Year Degree. Between $17,886 and $91,443 For a Two Year Degree.

It can be a bit scary to look at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of a multi-year degree, however, doing so will help you better understand the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus, in-state students to attend University of Wyoming in 2020 - 2021 was $19,920. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 2.2% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $20,814 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $22,231, for a bachelor degree candidate ($21,276 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $86,071 over the course of four years ($42,091 over the course of two years). These numbers do not take into consideration financial aid, which reduces this overall cost by varying amounts per student.

The cost for out-of-state students is more, with an overall expected four-year cost of $136,167 based on a yearly growth rate of 2.8%. The expected two-year cost is $66,217.

Remember, the full costs quoted above are not what most students will pay, and the net price varies quite a bit based on individual circumstances.
