My experience at the UWM School of Continuing Education has been phenomenal! The teachers are very welcoming and open to classroom collaboration so you not only get the teacher’s real-world experience, but you also get to hear about the experiences of other students, making the discussion diverse and valuable.

UW-Milwaukee has always been my go-to training resource. It’s nice to have a local resource like UWM’s School of Continuing Education to leverage when one’s career moves in a new direction.
