Laramie County
Community College
Public Community College in Cheyenne, WY. Six-year graduation rate 38%. Median 10-year earnings $44,783.
Ten years after entry, the median Laramie County Community College student earns $44,783 — a solidly middle-of-the-pack result for an undergraduate institution. Only 38% finish within six years, so roughly three in five students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Median debt at graduation is $11,000, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.25 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 38% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Transfer-out runs to 19% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. 4,008 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,563 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $7,113 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $5,873 at $0–30k, $12,133 at $110k+. 71% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,351 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 28% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $5,873 |
| $30–48k | $5,979 |
| $48–75k | $7,330 |
