Central Wyoming College, frequently abbreviated CWC or CW, is a public community college located in Riverton, Wyoming that offers 2-year associates degrees. In addition to its main campus, the college provides online classes and has outreach centers in Jackson, Lander, Dubois, and the Wind River Indian Reservation.
CWC was founded in 1966 by a county-wide vote, though community leaders originally conceived the idea of a community college in the county in 1950. The college took a long time to solidify because of a disagreement over its two proposed locations, Lander and Riverton. District boundary conflicts further postponedcollege planning until 1960. The Wyoming Community College Commission in 1964 informed the planning groups in Fremont County that the location dispute would have to be resolved before the proposed college would receive its serious consideration.
