Message from University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee | UWM

The University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee is located on the north side of the city and offers nearly 100 bachelor's degree programs. Some of the most popular majors include Psychology, Business, Architecture, Engineering and Nursing, with additional niche programs such as public health, freshwater sciences and several Fine Arts programs. Outside the classroom, UWM students get involved by exploring about 300 campus clubs and intramural sports teams, and by venturing off campus and into the city. In Milwaukee, students can visit museums, theaters and a zoo, and even take the Lake Express ferry to Michigan. On campus, student athletes can try out for the 15 UWM Panthers varsity sports teams, which compete in the NCAA Division I Horizon League. Students choose UWM because it blends the big city opportunities with the feel of a traditional college campus - which leaves students not wanting for much else.
