Empowering Wyoming and You
Computing is foundational to nearly every modern discipline, influencing everything from environmental science and public health to the arts and business. At the School of Computing, our academic programs serve as gateways to diverse and impactful careers, offering structured pathways that balance technical rigor, domain knowledge and creative problem-solving. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and experiential learning, students gain the skills and insights needed to thrive in a world where technology drives innovation across sectors.
The School of Computing is fostering innovation at the University of Wyoming by creating a computational hub, a centralized ecosystem that combines powerful computing infrastructure, high-performance computers, data storage systems, and specialized software.
We foster and accelerate innovation across Wyoming by building strong connections with K-12 education, industry, and entrepreneurship. It offers a diverse range of programs that unite students, faculty, researchers, and resources from the University of Wyoming, the State of Wyoming, and beyond, reaching across the U.S. and around the globe.

Plug Into UW's Computing Community (Engagement Programs)
The School of Computing at the UWyo is inviting faculty members to submit proposals for the Faculty Grants Program. We aim to support projects that advance computing research, learning, and engagement, with a focus on aligning with university initiatives, fostering applied computing, impacting student experiences, and involving SoC.
Graduate Computing Scholars are proudly supported for being outstanding graduate students demonstrating immense potential in their computational careers. They are enrolled in Ph.D. or Master's programs at the University of Wyoming, pursuing research projects where innovative computing and/or the advancement of computing play a crucial role.
We provide opportunities for WY undergrads to participate in mentored hands-on research and development projects. All areas of computing and all academic domains are within the scope of this program. The SURE program offers paid internships to WY students who have the motivation and basic skills to contribute to projects.
The School of Computing is pleased to offer grants to support short-term visiting scholars. The grants, up to $10,000 per visitor, may support visiting faculty, post-docs, or advanced graduate students (in the final 2 years of studies). The funds may be used to cover travel, lodging, and meal costs as well as a stipend for the visiting scholar.
