Western Wyoming ranked 7th in the nation among community colleges by Washington Monthly

Western Wyoming Community College has been ranked seventh nationally among community colleges by the news and public-affairs organization Washington Monthly. Western is Wyoming’s only community college to appear in the annual Top 50 list this year. The Washington Monthly College Guide rankings aim to serve as a counterpoint to the U.S. News and World Report rankings (which do not include community colleges), and are based on the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and the U.S. Department of Education’s measures of student retention and completion. The Washington Monthly ranking is the latest in a series of mentions for Western in national Top 20 lists for community colleges. Previously, CNN Money had ranked Western number 13 for student success among community colleges nationwide, while the college website TheBestSchools.org ranked Western number 18 in the country.
