Growing Roots, Finding Wings
Learn & Thrive in Northeast Wisconsin
Forge your future with an education at UW-Green Bay. Take flight as a Phoenix.
Higher education continues to be a powerful pathway to opportunity and economic growth, with college graduates earning 86% more on average than those with only a high school diploma. At UW-Green Bay, we're committed to making education both affordable and accessible, staying true to our mission of educating everyone who wants to learn. Through our partnership with the New North, we're taking this commitment even further by harnessing the region's educational resources and creative talent to build a thriving economy across NE Wisconsin's 16-county region.
The Value of Higher Education
UW-Green Bay is honored to partner with the New North, a nonprofit corporation fostering collaboration among private and public leaders in Northeast Wisconsin, to elevate the value of higher education within our region to support thriving careers within a supportive community with affordable living.
Why UW-Green Bay?
Located on a smaller campus, your professors will be able to get to know you while you enjoy opportunities available to you in the third largest city in Wisconsin.
Grow Your Roots
We believe learning is lifelong, and our program offerings reflect that. Look to us to be a guide and explore almost 200 majors and minors across healthcare, business, education, art, engineering and more. Or, you can build your own path, from certificates to graduate degrees to just taking a course here and there. Whatever your career, we have the resources you need to reach your goals.
Find Your Wings
As a student, you'll enjoy opportunities provided through our partnerships with local organizations, like Schneider, Titletown Tech, the Packers and our three healthcare systems across the region. From mentors to internships to scholarships to experience built into courses, you'll be equipped to blaze your own path. In fact, almost half of our 2024 graduate landed jobs before graduation.
Thrive on Unique Experiences
At UW-Green Bay, learning goes beyond the classroom to help you thrive with unique experiences found nowhere else. Step into history in our Viking House, a traditional Norwegian timber-framed house. Learn from Oneida Elders through the Center for First Nations Education. Conduct research to improve our environment through the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity. Find hands-on learning opportunities every step of your way.
Beyond Your Education
Why you should live in NE Wisconsin.
Almost half of our 2024 graduates stayed in our region, and there's good reason. We're #1 in regional workforce development and one of the top places to live, according to the 2023 U.S. News & World Report, all at a relatively low cost of living. Life is about more than just your career, though. Four distinct seasons provide recreation no matter the time of year. Spend the day in the city, exploring museums and theaters, or get away from the rush of people in beautiful landscapes just a short drive away.
