Mission  
School mission: The University of Wisconsin - River Falls is a public, comprehensive university whose mission is to Help students learn so that they are successful as productive, creative, ethical, engaged citizens and leaders with an informed global perspective. We strive to be the learning nucleus of the St. Croix Valley. We endeavor to act in close collaboration with communities, institutions and private enterprise to create a dynamic economy, sustainable communities, and an optimum quality of life. Our efforts are firmly rooted in unbounded inquiry and a cultivated sense of civility, public service and creative expression. We aspire to be a highly accessible gateway to explore the full range of human potential and to inspire and educate citizens and leaders who, guided by core values, will purposefully and ethically serve society. We value linking our students and our communities to global opportunities and collaborative relationships in the St. Croix Valley, in Wisconsin and beyond. We are a life-long learning partner for all those who seek to discover their own potential and the richness and complexity of our multifaceted world. Established in 1874, UW-River Falls is especially known for its programs in education, agriculture, the sciences and business. It is located in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway of western Wisconsin, and also is part of the Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn. Students are able to experience the best of both worlds: a small town atmosphere on a beautiful campus, with exceptional opportunities for internships, recreation and employment in the Twin Cities.
