Connect. Develop. Grow.
"When I took a tour of UW-Green Bay, I was struck by the connections the staff had with one another and the students. While the campus is smaller, it offered a tighter knit feel and more one-on-one learning opportunities... there [is] more hands-on learning and time to develop your craft. There are opportunities outside of the immediate campus to grow from such as my study abroad trip to Italy."

Audit an Art Class
You can take select art courses as a non-degree seeking student, although priority enrollment is given to our degree seeking students due to class size and our number of offerings. It's up to each individual instructor to approve your audit request. Or take courses as a non-degree seeking student. The difference between audit and non-degree seeking is price; auditing a class provides a decreased rate, while non-degree seeking students pay the same cost per credit as degree seeking students.
Note: Our ceramics and woodworking courses only accept degree seeking students due to studio and course offering limitations.
