The University of Wyoming was involved with nursing education as early as 1918 when they had an agreement with Ivinson Memorial Hospital to teach science courses for the hospital student nurses. A professional nursing program was established in 1951 under an act passed by the State of Wyoming. The first class of 16 students graduated in 1954. The Nursing program has operated under the direction of numerous administrative units including: The College of Liberal Arts (1951-1957), a separate College of Nursing (1957-1968), and the College of Health Sciences (1968-present.).
