“From the invigorating academics to the welcoming community to the beautiful Rocky Mountains, I have found a second home.”
“I grew up in an urban and secular community in Europe, and I wanted something completely different. A Catholic school in rural Wyoming was spot on, and Wyoming Catholic College has certainly not disappointed. From the invigorating academics to the welcoming community to the beautiful Rocky Mountains, I have found a second home.”

“Life at Wyoming Catholic College is a taste of perfection. We read the The Iliad for class, and that same night, the men engage in good camaraderie through wrestling. We read Shakespeare’s sonnets, and are moved to serenade the ladies, our fellow classmates, with the good old songs.”
“Life at Wyoming Catholic College is a taste of perfection. We read the The Iliad for class, and that same night, the men engage in good camaraderie through wrestling. We read Shakespeare’s sonnets, and are moved to serenade the ladies, our fellow classmates, with the good old songs. We read Huckleberry Finn, and then sit on our porches gazing at the stars. The best way to describe our life here is to say that it is poetic, Catholic, and not for the faint of heart. We are born in wonder and brought to wisdom.”

“I thought I was coming to study in Wyoming, but instead I’ve found myself witnessing the fall of Troy, trapped in the plight of Antigone, watching the rise of the Roman Republic, and praying in the catacombs with the early Christians.”
“I have been swept up into the rich humanities program here at Wyoming Catholic College. I thought I was coming to study in Wyoming, but instead I’ve found myself witnessing the fall of Troy, trapped in the plight of Antigone, watching the rise of the Roman Republic, fearing dark conspiracies under the Caesars, and praying in the catacombs with the early Christians. Our conversations with our professors last long after class time as we explore the Ancient World; ours is an odyssey of the mind.”

“The small community (and the fact that everyone takes the same classes) creates an atmosphere where you know not only who everyone is, but you have something in common with all of them.”
“I love the small community, and I think it’s a feature that really helps to set Wyoming Catholic College apart from other schools. The small community (and the fact that everyone takes the same classes) creates an atmosphere where you know not only who everyone is, but you have something in common with all of them. We are all here for the same thing: to learn.”

“Singing on the porch, praying, and reading Plato—all rolled into one profound experience that enables students to pursue the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.”
“Wyoming Catholic College is an unparalleled experience of adventure and truth. In a world where the former is forgotten and the latter is frowned upon, a poetic and intellectual education that forms the whole person is priceless. Classes are taught by professors who love the material and seek to instill that love in their students. Dorm life is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Singing on the porch, praying, and reading Plato—all rolled into one profound experience that enables students to pursue the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.”

“These past few semesters have taught me to look at the world with a desire to know, seek and defend the truth, yet all the while noticing even the simplest things with new eyes of wonder and humility.”
“Many of the things we are learning at Wyoming Catholic College have been forgotten or purposefully thrown out by the modern world, so it is very hopeful when the readings in our Humanities or Theology classes address problems we are experiencing right now, giving us insight into how others have dealt with them. These past few semesters have taught me to look at the world with a desire to know, seek and defend the truth, yet all the while noticing even the simplest things with new eyes of wonder and humility.”
