These institutions enrolled a total of 34,205 students as of fall 2015 (31,602 of which are studying at the undergraduate level and 2,603 at the graduate level). The fall 2015 figure is a decrease of 3,537 students (or -9.4%) from the number enrolled in the fall of 2012. Among the total student body, 10,923 (10,235 undergraduates and 688 graduate students) were taking at least one course at a distance. This is 31.9% of the enrolled student body, which is higher than the national average rate of 29.7%. The number of students taking distance education courses in the state decreased by 23 (or -0.2%) between fall 2012 and fall 2015. This is lower than the national level of growth of 11.0%. 4,130 students in Wyoming are taking all of their courses at a distance, made up of 3,603 undergraduates and 527 graduates. This represents 12.1% of all students enrolled in the state, a rate that is lower than the national average of 14.3%. A total of 3,603 (or 87.2% of these exclusively online students) live in Wyoming, the remainder come from outside of the state. This rate is higher than the national in-state average of 55.1%. The number of students that take any of their courses on campus, including those who take all of their courses on campus and those who take a mix of on-campus and distance courses, is 30,075, or 87.9% of the total student enrollment in Wyoming. This number represents a decrease in proportion on campus from the four years prior (88.8% from 33,514 students in 2012). The -0.9% rate is a smaller change than the national 1.7% decrease.
