Cost and Financial Aid

Casper College is a national leader in “affordable excellence,” consistently ranking as one of the best values for higher education in Wyoming. We are committed to helping you understand the investment you are making in your future by providing transparent cost information and personalized support. While individual costs vary based on residency and course load, many students use a combination of federal grants, the Hathaway Scholarship, and other funding sources to help manage their educational expenses. 

We encourage you to use our net price calculator and contact our financial aid office for a customized estimate of your costs and aid eligibility.

Career Paths

The healthcare sector remains one of the fastest-growing industries in Wyoming and across the nation. While many graduates move into CC’s specialized clinical programs, this degree prepares you for various entry-level and support roles.

Note: Completion of the health science degree provides the necessary academic preparation but does not guarantee admission into Casper College’s limited-entry clinical programs.

Accreditation

Casper College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Our health science curriculum is designed to meet the rigorous transfer and professional standards expected by regional medical boards and four-year institutions.

Transfer Opportunities

The Associate of Science (A.S.) in Health Science is a powerful transfer tool. Through our 2+2 Articulation Agreements with the University of Wyoming, you can transition seamlessly into a Bachelor of Science program in Health Services Administration, Kinesiology, or Nursing. By starting your journey at CC, you benefit from smaller class sizes and personalized instruction for your most challenging science prerequisites before moving on to complete your four-year degree.
