Change your life with high-impact practices
We do things a little differently at UW-Eau Claire. With opportunities to get involved in research, study abroad, internships, cultural immersion and service-learning, your world will expand the moment you step onto campus. Our liberal arts curriculum encourages Blugolds to get out there and live what they are studying now, not after they graduate. Join the nearly 90% of students who participate in at least two high-impact experiences that will give you the confidence and courage to discover your dream career and make it real.
UW-Eau Claire has challenged me in many ways and has left me a better person than when I came in as a freshman. It has given me the chance to compete as a college gymnast, conduct research alongside professors, support my community, make lifelong friends and get accepted into graduate school.
What will you do next?
