- Mission Statement
- WyoTech is uncompromisingly dedicated to superior quality, college-level, career-oriented education in the automotive, diesel and collision/refinishing industries. WyoTech's programs meet industry specifications and faclty/industry interactions, WyoTech Continually upgrades and modifies programs to enhance each graduate's employability.
WyoTech's primary objectives are to impart specific knowledge and skills, to graduate each and every student who begins training, and to place them in their chosen fields. In order to achieve these objectives, the curriculum, the faculty and staff, and the facilities and learning environment become equally important.
WyoTech's curricula allow students to concentrate exclusively on learning technical skills in diploma programs or to expand their education with associate degree programs.
WyoTech prepares students for the post-graduation working world by teaching on a workday, not a school day schedule. Students attend classes approximately eight hours a day, five days a week.
The faculty and staff respect the professional decision students have made to enter career training. We believe professionalism is as important an aspect of training as are technical and business skills. For that reason, WyoTech has established rules and regulations concerning attendance, behavior and academic performance in classrooms, labs and shops. These rules are enforced, both on campus and in housing, and each student's grades are adjusted weekly to reflect professionalism points. Professionalism develops a positive attitude, personal motivation, and career pride. These elements, combined with technical expertise, produce a WyoTech graduate--a skilled professional technician.
