What Are the Universities of Wisconsin?
The Universities of Wisconsin comprise 13 campuses, with seven accepting international student applications through Shorelight. These schools are spread across the state of Wisconsin: some in small towns, others in rural areas, and still more in cities.
With an enrollment of approximately 162,000 students, a $6.5 billion annual budget, and nearly $2 billion in gifts, grants, and contracts, the Universities of Wisconsin are well-funded and able to support a diverse range of programs and research.
My involvement in student organizations and connections on and off campus led me to secure a full-time position as a risk advisory consultant for EY in Minneapolis upon graduation.
Effective communication can bridge divides. [At] UW-Superior ... I look forward to all that we can accomplish as one diverse, but unified, voice.
Because of its size, it’s possible to learn better. The classes are smaller and the professors can focus more on you. I have more opportunities to learn and speak English.
