Student Research & Creative Activity

One of the “Marks of Excellence” of UW-Eau Claire is its emphasis on student participation in scholarly and creative activity. In 1988 it was named the Center of Excellence for Faculty and Undergraduate Research Collaboration within the UW System, and about 10 years later students voted to help fund student involvement through differential tuition. There are now both grant and scholarship opportunities available to help students afford to become involved. For the last several years, UW-Eau Claire has ranked with top private and public institutions in the U.S. News and World Report list of top schools in undergraduate research.
