University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Reviews

"Research experience was great. Administration did not have it together. Departments were not on the same page. The campus location is pretty good with a fairly low amount of crime. Most professors are hard to find even during their "office hours" The campus facilities themselves are decent."

"If you are working toward a bachelors in Art Education I would suggest looking into other schools. During my time there, my professors were (what seemed like randomly picked out of hat) not open minded, rude, and played the Favorite game with students. If you were not there favorite or questioned what was being taught, which I did, they rudely told me to go to a different school and did not even listen to what I had to say. What school supports the watching of "The Lion King" and "Precious" as educational for art education?? and very little real life scenarios like classroom management????-UWM allowed this garbage and I learned very little about daily tasks of teaching art. I would never go back."

"The University of Wisconsin systems is amazing. I went to UW-Parkside for my B.S. in Psychology and was I ever grateful as I destroyed my Master's at UW-Milwaukee in 1 year. Great professors, awesome cohort and excellent resources to aid in speedy understandings of materials (Tutors). Plus all staff goes above and beyond if you ask for help or are applying yourself. Couldn't be happier. I am working on my Doctorates and am satisfied with the foundation paved that has me dominating in my field. Easy Licensing as well because its a state school and their program is linked to DSPS."

"It was an okay experience, I did not feel as supported as I would have hoped. I did learn a great in the classes though, loved the Trauma Counseling classes."

"Great staff, small campus, too much snow. Major renovations and expansions after i graduated."

"College was a great experience and an excellent opportunity to dive into a subject matter that you are interested in. I'd recommend taking a variety of classes in different subjects to get a good idea of what you gravitate towards and learn about other topics. I wish I wouldn't have been more afraid to step outside the box more."

"Great experience. A lot of different types of opportunities for internships and the profs are professionals so a lot of career experience and knowledge!"

"The Educational Policy program at UW-Milwaukee is a small program that mainly serves graduate students, although they do provide an undergraduate degree, as well. This program emphasizes issues in modern urban education and challenges students to present real solutions, particularly in the city of Milwaukee. This program is largely tailored to students who want to stay in and improve Milwaukee, so may not be the best choice for someone looking to leave immediately after attaining a degree."

"University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is a cultured university that makes everyone feel welcome. The campus is compact, which makes it easy to get from class to class in a short amount of time. The nursing program is rigorous and competitive, but also rewarding. There are many hospitals in the area to network with, making it easy for most students to have a job lined up before they even graduate."

"UW-Milwaukee was a great program. There were a few speed bumps with the updated courses but overall very well. They took into consideration our input and I personally believed prepared us for a career outside of school. Teachers and clinical sites were exceptional."

"I am a current graduate student at UW-Milwaukee and am working towards earning a Masters in Social Work and a Masters in Women's & Gender Studies. UWM has allowed me to pursue both of my degree interests through a coordinated program - a unique opportunity offered nowhere else in Wisconsin. UWM offers multiple opportunities for students to become engaged whether through student organizations, student government, campus events, on-campus work opportunities, or through assistantships (teaching, research, etc.). I have been fortunate enough to have received a teaching assistantship through one of my programs and am currently on my third semester teaching undergraduate students twice a week. UWM's campus is conveniently located within the city and embraces diversity and difference among its students."

"The MPH program at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee has diverse coursework that allows students to tailor their courses to align with their career goals. In addition, there are numerous field work opportunities in Milwaukee and the state that serve as great opportunities to gain work experience and networking opportunities that aid in getting a job after graduation."

"I fairly enjoyed my time at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The program and faculty are excellent. If you don't mind snowy cold weather, UWM is the place to go to save some tuition while receiving high standard education. My only problem with the school was that the students the school accepts every year is not very competitive. I didn't meet many inspiring souls and all my friends are faculty members."

"UW-Milwaukee had a very nice and simple laid out curriculum that explains exactly what classes are needed and in what order you take those classes. This was very easy to follow so you can see what classes you already took and what classes you still need to complete. During the nursing program there is a good balance between clinical time on site and class time with lecture and group projects."

"I received a BA from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and went on to earn a post baccalaureate degree in German and ESL. I was very impressed with the education I received at UWM. The professors treated me like I mattered and supported me. The curriculum was flexible with traditional, hybrid and online courses. I would recommend UWM."

"All core classes in the Chemistry degree with Biochem option were taught by knowledgeable professors. The quality of the TA's varied with each class but generally either they or the professor was available during office hours for any questions. I can't say the same for the Gen Ed courses required."

"I can't really compare the school against others, since I didn't attend any others. I feel that I was well prepared for my career and that the school put in considerable effort to help me obtain a position in my field. There were ample opportunities in the department to work as a research assistant, and advisement services were also exceptional."

"UW-MILWAUKEE provided a good learning opportunity to obtain my Masters. The Trauma classes were definitely the best and shaped me to the social worker I am today!"

"I enjoyed the school and instructors were always available for questions"

"UWM was a great way for me to get my masters degree while still working full time. Evening classes worked well with my schedule as well as bus transportation from area park-n-rides. Milwaukee is lucky to have a high quality college."
