Gillette College is a two-year community college in Gillette, Wyoming. The college is the eighth and newest community college in the state of Wyoming, separating from the Northern Wyoming Community College District in August of 2021.[2] The newly formed independent community college is led by Chairman Josh McGrath[3] and President Dr. Janell Oberlander.[4] The college offers Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees, as well as certificate and applied science programs that prepare students for skilled trades such as welding and industrial electricity.[5]
While the newly formed independent institution seeks its own accreditation, it remains partnered to NWCCD to offer accredited degrees and certifications to students.[6]
Academics
[edit | edit source]The estimated tuition for the 2018–19 year with 15 credits per semester was $12,439 for Wyoming residents, $13,567 for Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) students, and $16,951 for out-of-state and international students. The amount includes an average cost of books, supplies, and room and board.[7] The cost per credit is $132 for Wyoming Residents, $179 for WUE students, and $320 for out-of-state and international students for the first 11 credits and begins to decrease ending with 18 credits costing $100 each.[8]
The nursing program at the college started in January 1983 and it accepted 15 students a year to become licensed practical nurses (LPN). The program expanded to include training registered nurses (RN) in 1987. The nursing program currently accepts 32 students a year and in 2017, 244 people applied to enter the program which starts each year in the Fall.[9]
