Military

At Laramie County Community College, we know military
personnel and their families have continuing education
needs both professionally and personally.

that can help military-affiliated students attain
their educational goals with classes
on the main campus in Cheyenne or online.

Need help paying for college? We're here for you.

There are many options available to military-affiliated students. Laramie County Community College is approved by the State of Wyoming for veterans training and for those training under Dependents' Educational Assistance.
