Welcome to UW-Washington County! Here on campus, we are excited about the many new developments and opportunities that we are able to offer our students.  The 72,000 square foot Collins Science Wing completed in 2002, provides students with state-of-the-art science and computer labs, lecture halls and classrooms.  It has also increased computer access for students by over 65 percent. 

UW-Washington County students have the opportunity to complete a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Administration, Communications or Information Resources through UW-Milwaukee without ever having to leave the campus. Equally exciting is our Bachelor’s of Nursing program that allows students to remain in West Bend for three of their four years of study.

New in fall, 2006, an accelerated bachelor degree in Liberal Studies from UW-Oshkosh is available to our students. Designed for working adults, classes meet just one night a week at our campus. A Certificate in Civic and Community Leadership which recognizes the completion of 24 credits is also available through UW-Oshkosh.

These changes reflect the extensive cooperation that exists not only between UW-WC, Washington County and the City of West Bend, but between our campus and other University of Wisconsin campuses.  The continuing growth at our campus will make an enormous difference, not only in the lives of students, but also in the well being of the entire community.

Our growing curriculum, small classes and dedicated faculty provide students with a high quality education at the lowest cost in the UW System.  We offer a small college atmosphere, in which students of all ages find ready access to faculty and staff as well as many opportunities for co-curricular participation and leadership.  Also, our Guaranteed Transfer Program assures students that they can enter any four-year campus in the UW system with junior standing

Whether you're a student, a community member, or one of more than 20,000 alumni, we invite you to browse our website, our latest Viewbook, or come and visit us in person. Take advantage of our Fine Arts programs, Community Lecture Series, or Continuing Education offerings. You're always welcome at UW-Washington County!

Sincerely,
 
Dr. David L. Nixon
Campus Dean and Chief Executive Officer
