WyoTech

WyoTech, formerly known as Wyoming Technical Institute, is a system of colleges in the United States. Founded in Laramie, Wyoming, in 1966, WyoTech was until 2015 a system of for-profit colleges owned and operated by Corinthian Colleges, Inc. In 2015, Corinthian ceased operating and filed for bankruptcy. While a number of Corinthian-owned colleges were closed in early 2015, Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC), a non-profit, took ownership of more than half of Corinthian Colleges' campuses, including several WyoTech campuses. As of June 2015, 3 WyoTech campuses remain open, now operated by ECMC.
