The UWM Experience
At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, our students are driven to improve the world around them. Through top academic programs in the arts, health, technology and more, students develop in-demand skills and dive into cutting-edge research. They gain hands-on experience working with businesses and community organizations in the city. As alumni, they use what they’ve learned to make our lives — and our state — better.
Leading in Research
UWM faculty and students embrace challenges and ask big questions. They’re at the forefront of discovery, working hard to find solutions that fuel industries and improve lives. Their accomplishments have led to startups, new medical treatments, cleaner water, and a better understanding of ourselves and our universe.
Students have the opportunity to engage in this work from the start of their UWM career through our award-winning undergraduate research program and our many graduate research assistantships.
