University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee
Anyone interested in earning a bachelor’s, masters or doctoral degree on a campus in a beautiful neighborhood should consider the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
At UW-Milwaukee, the community is an integral part of 152 different academic degree programs. Research and hands-on learning are intertwined. It should come as no surprise, then, that such great numbers of the state’s teachers, nurses, healthcare professionals, architects, engineers, artists, social workers, business professionals and more come from Wisconsin’s second-largest university.
In addition to more than 28,000 university students, UW-Milwaukee also expands the knowledge of area residents through its School of Continuing Education. With more than 35,000 annual participants, the school provides outstanding learning experiences through classes, seminars, special events and educational tours and trips. [Top]

They come to join a community whose members -- faculty, staff, students, trustees, alumni and friends alike -- believe that education must encompass the whole person: spiritual and moral as well as intellectual, the heart as well as the mind. And they come seeking the educational, professional and cultural advantages of a university located in the heart of the city. [Top]
