ABOUT UW-WHITEWATER

We inspire, engage and transform lives.

Founded in 1868 as a school that trained teachers for one-room schoolhouses, UW-Whitewater has evolved into a comprehensive university offering high-quality programs at the associate, bachelor, master, and doctoral levels. We are highly successful in both in-person and online instruction, leading the way in preparing students with the outstanding skills that make them strong candidates for 21st-century careers and community leadership. We celebrate more than 110,000 alumni around the world.

The Warhawk family — led by caring faculty and staff — is devoted to student success within a broad range of academic programs at both our flagship Whitewater campus and Rock County branch campus.

Recognized nationally for affordability and career development, UWW serves approximately one-third first-generation students and boasts strength in many areas, especially business and education.

We are a university with an entrepreneurial spirit and championship culture, supporting the arts and NCAA Division-III level athletics. As a proud institution of access, more than 10 percent of undergraduate students use the acclaimed Center for Students with Disabilities — a priority mission since the 1970s.

Belonging and mattering are central to the university’s culture, and UW-Whitewater strives to maintain an environment where individual and collective efforts are valued and celebrated. Each year, UW-Whitewater and our alumni contribute more than $1.4 billion dollars to Wisconsin’s economy.
