The University of Wyoming accorded a degree on a Cortez student, Neal Christensen Hurst, at the completion of the 2011 spring semester. Hurst was awarded a PhRD (doctor of pharmacy) degree.
Located in Laramie, the University of Wyoming is the states only four-year higher education institution, offering more than 180 programs of study. A low student-faculty ratio allows for individual instruction and attention, and undergraduates often participate in cutting-edge research projects.
