UWO also has 14 nationally recognized clubs sports, providing excitement for athletes and fans alike.
4. World-renowned faculty dedicated to teaching
Students at UWO develop meaningful relationships with their professors, and every class is taught by engaging faculty—not teaching assistants. Between small class sizes and a personalized faculty advising model, students at UWO have the opportunity to learn from faculty who bring their real-world experience to the classroom.
5. State-of-the-art classroom technology
The best way for Titans to prepare for the real world is to experience the real world right in the classroom. That’s why UW Oshkosh has invested millions of dollars into classroom technology. From nursing simulation labs to our custom-built Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometer, our spaces prepare Titans for the 21st century workforce.
6. Unlimited research opportunities
Students at UWO don’t just learn from research, they conduct it first hand. UW Oshkosh is designated as a research-comprehensive regional university, which means our faculty and students collaborate every day on important research projects. Whether your interests land you in the science lab or art studio, you’ll work directly on research and creative projects.
7. Support services that prioritize student success
Every university offers student support services, but at UWO student success is truly at the heart of all that we do. You can chart your own path, guided by advisors and professors. Group tutoring and individual support options ensure students get the resources they need to be successful in the classroom, and our team of Student Success Navigators offer personalized assistance for new Titans and their families.
8. Incredible study abroad opportunities
The best way to see the world from different perspectives is to add a little adventure to your degree. Titans can choose from more than 80 life-changing international study trips, which last anywhere from a few weeks to a full year.
9. Industry-focused Career and Professional Development model
Instead of asking, “What can I do with a major in … ?” we encourage you to ask “What work environments and job duties interest me?” A fulfilling career right out of college is achievable, and our Career and Professional Development services offer personalized support to help you find, prepare for and land your dream job.
10. Charming communities
Life off campus needs to be as enriching and fulfilling as learning experiences in the classroom, and the three communities that surround our campuses offer incredible cultural, dining, entertainment and outdoor activities.
