| School mission: | In a 2008 survey of students and alumni, the majority of respondents observed that UW-Stevens Point had provided them with experiences that transformed their lives. Rigorous study, exceptional extra-curricular opportunities, and individual relationships with faculty and staff mentors come naturally at this school that is consistently ranked among the Midwest's best public universities. Challenging learning and leadership experiences prepare our graduates for lifetimes of global citizenship. One measure of this commitment is UWSP's leadership of the entire University of Wisconsin System in the percentage of our graduates who have studied abroad; UWSP is among the nation's top 20 universities in this category. The university Newsweek ranks among America's Most Interesting values the liberal arts and sciences, personal and community wellness, stewardship of natural resources, the expression of the arts, and technological advancement in all of our learning and living spaces. Our campus, rated as Wisconsin's "Greenest" by Princeton Review, is environmentally friendly and forward thinking on issues of sustainability. For example, UWSP was designated by Wisconsin's governor to become reliant on only renewable energy by 2012. The campus setting is ideal, situated in a Main Street town that is rated among the best places to live in the USA. Just a short walk away is a rare and wonderful feature for a university--the 275-acre Schmeeckle Reserve, which offers a four-season, on-campus refuge and living laboratory for the university's internationally renowned College of Natural Resources and many other academic and recreational programs. With more than 100 programs of study within 50+ academic majors, 80+ minors, and 16 graduate programs, UWSP provides avenues to success in the demanding 21st Century economy. The university offers a supportive environment in which students thrive academically, socially, and personally and report high quality relationships with fellow students, the faculty, and administrators. Whether through lively arts performances, exhibitions, and NCAA champion-caliber athletics or by attracting worldwide participation in events such as the American Suzuki Institute or the National Wellness Conference, the campus and community alike enjoy stimulating opportunities for entertainment and enlightenment. It's no wonder UWSP students express a high level of satisfaction with their university. |
