ADMISSION www.uwplatt.edu/admission

At the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, we’re looking for determined individuals who want to achieve excellence, create opportunities, and empower themselves, their communities, and the world. If you know a student who would be a welcome addition to our tradition of excellence, they should keep the following information in mind:

Comprehensive Application Review While academic potential is a part of what makes a great Pioneer, we also take into account non-academic factors, such as activities, work experiences, and volunteering; passion for continuing education; and the goals and motivations presented in the essay portion of the application.

ACT and SAT Requirement Suspended As of May 7, 2020, the requirement of an ACT or SAT test score has been suspended for the 2020–21 and 2021–22 academic years. For students that choose to forgo the use of a test score as a part of their admission review, additional focus will be placed on the high school grade point average and course rigor throughout the high school record.

Official versus Unofficial Unofficial high school transcripts and test scores (if submitted) are accepted for initial admission consideration. Final official transcripts are required prior to enrollment.

Freshman Class Academic Profile The following profile statistics are from new freshman applicants previously admitted to the Platteville campus. These ranges represent the middle 50% range of admitted students—meaning that 25% of admitted students had scores below this range and 25% of admitted students had scores above this range.

NEW ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND UPDATES www.uwplatt.edu/academics

With over 50 majors, UW-Platteville has options that fit students’ unique needs and career goals. While we’ve long been a leader in engineering, agriculture, education, and criminal justice, we’re thrilled to promote updates like our Bachelor of Business Administration. This degree is different from a bachelor of arts or science as it demonstrates to employers a focus on the skills and approaches required for a successful career in business. Students can earn a BBA in Finance, Human Resource Management, Integrated Marketing, Integrated Supply Chain Management, Management, or Professional Sales.

A LEADER IN STEM EDUCATION UW-Platteville has earned its reputation as one of the top engineering schools in Wisconsin and that tradition of excellence carries into all our STEM programming. Whether a students’ interest lies in engineering, computer science and mathematics, or they’re drawn to the natural sciences like chemistry, biology, or our new environmental science and conservation program, they’ll enjoy a unique student experience under the guidance of esteemed and engaged faculty. And while most schools reserve lab time for juniors and seniors, our small class sizes and modern facilities allow for hands-on learning and research from day one.

PIONEER STORIES www.uwplatt.edu/news

“I was interested in UW-Platteville because it is well known for its engineering department, and also it is affordable. Now that I am a student here, I would choose UW-Platteville over any other school over and over again.”

José Martins Electrical Engineering UW-Platteville

“In the theatre program, I found my second family. The professors are ridiculously supportive, and they push me to do my best in all my endeavors. I’m always excited to show up to class, work, or rehearsal, and I love getting to be myself every single day, without fear of judgement.”

Blair Schuler Fine Arts-Theatre UW-Platteville

“I really appreciate the support here on campus from my professors and the fantastic academic advising staff. I love the small class sizes! I feel like I’m able to fully engage with the material and ask all the questions I need. It’s proven to be one of the most valuable experiences for me.”

Christina Gutrich Associate of Arts and Sciences UW-Platteville Baraboo Sauk County

“One of the main reasons I chose to study agriculture is so I would be able to have my community and neighbors benefit from my knowledge. I really appreciate and value those principles of the UW System and Wisconsin Idea.”
