Are you ready to find your fit?

This land of immense vistas and stunning natural splendor is also the home of very few people.

The sparse population doesn’t mean you should pass over Wyoming in your college search. Just the opposite is true—if you’re looking for a high-quality and affordable degree, this list just might have what you’re looking for.

And if you’re open to looking elsewhere for an online degree, take a glance at our national ranking of the Best Online Schools in America.
