As the most diverse institution in the University of Wisconsin System and designated as a R1 research institute, we’re a learning destination for nearly 26,000 students.

We make learning accessible at every age, stage of life, and location. At UWM, we share motivation to learn and to excel. We value unique perspectives and possess talent and desire to nurture ideas that make global impact. The comforts and connections of a major metropolitan city meet the resources and expertise of a world-class research institution at UW-Milwaukee.
