- Opened in 1974, the Cheyenne Campus is the oldest of our three main campuses. Most of the campus is housed under one roof and this creates a feeling of togetherness throughout the campus. Our student services areas are centralized making for easy access to critical areas such as Financial Aid and Testing & Assessment.

With a state-of-the-art Computer Lab staffed with highly qualified professionals, the Cheyenne Campus offers a comprehensive learning environment for our students.
- Several key programs are located at the Cheyenne Campus. The Culinary Arts program is a model for many institutions across the country and has produced gold and silver medal winners in various national competitions. The Automotive Technology program is the national pilot program location for the GM Assessment Center and is the first outside location allowed to perform the General Motors/Raytheon GM Technician Hands-On Assessment Courses.
