Wyoming Catholic College is a private, Catholic liberal arts college in Lander, Wyoming. It is currently using the local church and accompanying facilities as an interim campus. While the relationship between Holy Rosary Parish and the college is typically a good one, there is a certain amount of friction at times. WCC is the only private four-year institution of higher education in the state.
Accreditation
WCC is one of the newest colleges in the United States, admitting its first class in 2007 and graduating them in the spring of 2011. WCC was granted Institutional Preaccreditation status by the American Academy for Liberal Education (AALE) on September 1, 2010.[1]
Academics
Because it offers a four-year, integrated, Great Books curriculum, Wyoming Catholic College has no majors, minors, specialized degrees or graduate programs; it awards graduating students the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. There were 115 students enrolled in fall 2013.[2]
