School Overview

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville is a comprehensive, four-year public institution of higher education founded in 1866. With tuition that ranks among the lowest for four-year colleges in the University of Wisconsin System, students receive a first-class education for a lot less. At UW-Platteville, students will find the advantages of a large university—challenging academics, opportunities for undergraduate research, state-of-the-art labs and facilities, renowned faculty, and notable alumni—combined with the benefits of a small, supportive, and safe environment.

The average class size is around 25 students, meaning that professors know students’ names, and students won’t find themselves at the back of a lecture hall with a teaching assistant at the front. All classes are taught by faculty who are leaders in their field and accessible to students, in and out of the classroom.
