School Details
The University of Wisconsin has had a presence in southeastern Wisconsin since 1933 when it established two-year centers in Racine and Kenosha. For years, residents were eager for a university that offered a four-year degree. Finally, in 1965, the Wisconsin Legislature passed a bill merging the two centers and creating the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. UW-Parkside’s mission statement says, “The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is committed to high-quality educational programs, creative and scholarly activities, and services responsive to its diverse student population, and its local, national, and global communities.” It is dedicated to providing students with an excellent education at an affordable price with the most affordable rates in the UW system.
Students can earn associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees from the following schools and colleges:
- College of Arts & Humanities
- College of Business, Economics, and Computing
- College of Natural and Health Sciences
- College of Social Sciences and Professional Studies
Undergraduate and graduate degrees are also available online. Parkside online degrees allow students to interact with knowledgeable instructors no matter where the students are located. These online degrees blend personal attention, convenience, and academic rigor, setting students up for success. For even greater flexibility, Parkside offers the UW Flexible Option which is a self-paced alternative to traditional online programs.
