Figures reflect the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard IPEDS 2022–23 release.

Average net price = the institution-reported average amount students actually paid after all grant and scholarship aid, excluding loans. Only schools with a reported average net price in the DOE College Scorecard dataset are ranked. This page lists the 10 cheapest; the title count is the full Scorecard-reporting cohort for Wyoming. Schools with fewer than 10 net-price-reporting institutions in a state or territory are not given a dedicated ranking page.
