is the first time that UWGB was included on the list.
"We've known up close and personal how good the education is at UW-Green
Bay but it's good that the word is getting out," said Chancellor Bruce
Shepard. "Of the 10 universities in the Midwest who made the list, half

higher education."The category of Midwestern master's level public universities
is made up of 56 universities. These universities offer a full range of
undergraduate and master's degree programs.

students, graduation rates and faculty resources. The information is from
the 2002-03 academic year and precedes the impact of budget reductions

is facing," said Kenneth Fleurant, a French and humanistic studies professor
at UWGB.

public universities included Truman State University, the University of
Northern Iowa, Washburn University, Eastern Illinois University, the University
