Casper College

What Casper College does

Casper College is a public two-year community college founded in 1945 in Casper, Wyoming, operating as Wyoming's first junior college and the largest comprehensive community college in the region. It serves approximately 4,682 students (2023-24) across more than 140 degree and certificate programs spanning academic transfer (AA, AS, AB, AFA), career and technical (AAS, ADN), and short-term certificate pathways, delivered on a single 200-acre, 28-building campus with on-campus housing, plus fully online and hybrid formats accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Student segments include first-time college students, transfer students, returning adults, high school dual-enrollment participants (BOCES ACE program with NCSD#1), international F-1 visa students from 40+ countries, and veterans using GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon benefits, supported by 251-500 employees including faculty (87% holding master's or doctorate) at a 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio.

The underlying technology stack is conventional enterprise higher-ed infrastructure: Moodle LMS (MyCCMoodle), ClassLink single sign-on, the myCCinfo student information portal, AWS infrastructure, Google Analytics, New Relic application monitoring, and Dynatrace performance tracking. The business model is unit-priced tuition ($147/credit in-state, $200/credit WUE, $357/credit non-resident for 2025-26) combined with housing and dining revenue, administration of $14.5M in financial aid (Pell, SEOG, Hathaway scholarships, federal loans, and $3.98M in institutional scholarships), and fee-based continuing education and workforce development programs. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enrollment through apply.caspercollege.edu, dual-enrollment via BOCES-funded high school partnerships, international recruitment, and continuing education courses; partnerships include Student Veterans of America, NCSD#1 (BOCES), the VA Yellow Ribbon program, and on-campus university partners (e.g., UW-Casper) enabling bachelor's through doctorate completion without leaving the Casper campus.

Leadership transitioned in 2025 with Dr. Brandon Kosine appointed as the ninth president on April 15, 2025 following an internal succession. The college is governed as a state public institution with no private ownership, PE/VC, or parent company; a separate Casper College Foundation supports fundraising and scholarships. Recent operating changes include reorganization of the Workforce Development department into the School of Business and Industry, a new HR director, and announced 2026-27 tuition increases (~$154/credit in-state, $210/credit WUE, $378/credit non-resident) effective Fall 2026.
