Meet UW-Platteville
Platteville, WI
Set in the heart of Southwest Wisconsin, UW-Platteville combines the charm of a close-knit campus with big-time opportunities in engineering, science, agriculture, education, and beyond. Here, students put theory into practice—testing AI-powered precision agriculture tools at Pioneer Farm, advancing renewable energy research, or building and testing prototypes in our 20,000-square-foot makerspace. With 100% of courses taught by professors and a 20:1 student-to-faculty ratio, students receive the kind of mentorship and hands-on experience that builds both skill and confidence.
Career readiness is built into everything at UW-Platteville. With over 800 employers at their biannual career fairs, strong industry partnerships, and a 96% placement rate, students graduate with the knowledge, network, and résumé to lead in their fields. From co-ops and study abroad to hydroponics labs and forensic investigation, students leave with more than a degree—they leave with a portfolio. Add in low tuition and strong support, and it is no wonder UW-Platteville is one of the best values in the region.
