WyoTech
For-profit College in Laramie, WY. Six-year graduation rate 85%. Median 10-year earnings $50,167.

Academics
A 85% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 89%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. The undergraduate body is just 1,460, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,452 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $34,239 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Income makes less difference than usual: $33,742 at $0–30k, $39,925 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 52% of students at an average of $6,589. 68% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $33,742 |
| $30–48k | $33,838 |
| $48–75k | $35,278 |
