Outcomes Overview
Wyoming graduates enter a job market where their typical $18,000 debt burden represents just 32% of their $56,880 median earnings after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $191 consume about 4% of graduates' income, well below problematic levels. The state's energy sector, particularly oil, gas, and renewable resources, provides strong career paths for engineering and geology majors. Wyoming's status as the only four-year university in the state creates valuable alumni networks throughout the region. The 95.8% employment rate reflects solid job placement success. With relatively low debt and decent earning potential in specialized fields like energy and engineering, Wyoming delivers a strong return on investment for students willing to build careers in the Mountain West.
