Overview
Wyoming Catholic College was founded in 2005 in Lander, Wyoming, as a faithfully Catholic liberal arts institution dedicated to forming students in the Great Books tradition, integrating faith, reason, and the natural world. It offers a single, integrated undergraduate curriculum emphasizing classical texts, Latin, philosophy, theology, and the sciences, with no elective majors in the traditional sense—every student follows the same core program. The college is known for its rigorous academics, strong Catholic identity, and its distinctive outdoor leadership program that immerses freshmen in a multi-week wilderness expedition in the Wind River Range.
