U.S. and Wyoming courses accepted from the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges

Listed below are the five Wyoming college and university courses that PTSB accepts to fulfill both U.S. & Wyoming Constitution requirements:

HIST 1211: U.S. History to 1865

HIST 1221: U.S. History from 1865

HIST 1251: Wyoming History

POLS 1000: American & Wyoming Government

ECON 1200: Business, Law, & Government

Transfer students who completed U.S. Government or U.S. History elsewhere may have fulfilled the Wyoming Government portion by completing the following:

POLS 1000 XM: American & Wyoming Government with a grade of “S” for 1 credit by exam through the Political Science Dept.

POLS 1100: Wyoming Government

U.S. & Wyoming Constitution

Applicants may meet the requirement for Demonstration of Knowledge of the United States and Wyoming Constitutions in either of the following two ways:

Demonstration of Knowledge through Coursework
Courses that demonstrate knowledge of the U.S. Constitution must cover U.S. History prior to 1865 and include the study of the Constitution.  Political Science courses may be counted if the coursework included the study of the Constitution.  If there are questions about the content of the curriculum, PTSB may require an applicant to submit course descriptions.  Graduates from a Wyoming Community College or the University of Wyoming have completed this coursework; however, they must have passed the course with a “C” or higher.

Demonstration of Knowledge through Examination

If you have not completed coursework to meet the U.S. and Wyoming Constitution Study requirements, you may demonstrate knowledge through an exam.  PTSB has created two multiple-choice exams (20 questions each), which may be taken online through our Educator Portal as a part of the application that you will complete online.   Please note that the digital exams are scored automatically.  If you do not pass the exam(s), you may retake the exam(s).  Please see the links to the study guides below.
