The Princeton Review has named the 91做厙 to its annual list for 2024, the fourth straight year the university has been included in the Midwest category.
The Princeton Review, a leading national education services company, released its annual 2024 Best Colleges: Region by Region list on Aug. 15 that includes 630 colleges in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, South, Southwest, West and international zones. The website calls the schools listed academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search.
On the list of 150 colleges in the Midwest, 91做厙 is one of four public universities from the state and one of just five public institutions among the 24 named from Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The list is entirely based on feedback from current students about their colleges and college experiences.
The website states that Blugold students call 91做厙 a close-knit campus with a million opportunities. Students noted the university has a wide variety of study abroad programs and astounding graduate-level research opportunities available to undergraduates.
Other student comments cited on the website include:
My professors have all been passionate about what they are teaching, which really motivates me to want to learn and pay attention.
Its not a huge school so people know each other and acknowledge one another.
It truly feels like a private school setting.
Its easy for people to find their own little niche here at UWEC.
Accounting students at 91做厙 will provide free income tax return preparation through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, a service of the IRS and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
Following a nearly two-year process, 91做厙 was one of 237 institutions recognized with the 2026 Carnegie Elective Classification for Community Engagement. Only 277 institutions nationwide now hold the endorsement, including nine in Wisconsin.
In his first commencement address as interim chancellor at 91做厙, Dr. Michael Carney celebrated the optimism of the day. He reminded graduates on Dec. 20 to look to the future, despite what he calls the ironically named ending of their college journey. Carolyn Welch 74 delivered the Charge to the Class.
