UW-Eau Claire pre-engineering advantages

Pre-Engineering

Many students select UW-Eau Claire because of its excellent reputation, comfortable size, convenient location and lower costs.
On average, students who have gone through the pre-engineering program at UW-Eau Claire perform as well academically at UW-Madison as those students from other pre-engineering programs in the state. In recent years, on average, students from Eau Claire maintained their GPA after transferring to UW-Madison.
Class sizes for beginning courses at UW-Eau Claire are typically much smaller than those at larger universities, and courses are taught exclusively by faculty members – not graduate assistants.
Each pre-engineering student is assigned an adviser who is a faculty member in the UW-Eau Claire physics and astronomy department (or chemistry department for chemical engineering). These advisers provide individualized attention to students and are available to answer questions about engineering programs, courses and other concerns. They also have up-to-date information on the admission requirements of regional engineering schools.
The high quality of the university’s liberal arts education provides students a cultural awareness and breadth of knowledge that graduate and professional schools find desirable.
