Wyoming has the smallest population of any state in the union so it's not a surprise that it also has the second lowest number of colleges and career schools in the US, with 12 as of 2005 data. Only Alaska has a smaller number of post-secondary schools. Wyoming and Alaska are also the only two states with less than 40,000 students.
As of 2005, nine of Wyoming's schools were public, meaning that 75% of the state's post-secondary schools are public, the highest such percentage in the United States. Wyoming is also only one of three states that have more than 90% of its students attending public schools. The remaining schools in Wyoming are all for-profit schools; there are no private not-for-profit schools in Wyoming.
