Dynamic Classrooms

Break out the books! Learning can and will happen everywhere at UW-Eau Claire. Whether you're in a traditional classroom like this or performing on stage in Gantner Hall, the enthusiasm of professors and students alike make this campus come alive with activity.

Faculty lecturing to Students

Listen up! At UW-Eau Claire, most of your classes will be in intimate settings, but even in the few lecture halls such as this one, technology is top notch and you'll never find teaching assistants taking over the role of the professor. The opportunity to get to know your professors is the norm.

Students working with chemistry equipment

Technology and teamwork are common components of the classroom experience. These students are learning how to work in an effective, cutting edge, group computer lab. The Hormel Team Lab pictured is one of many innovative labs found across campus.

Students taking notes outside

If you thought field trips were a thing of the past, you were truly (and probably pleasantly) mistaken! Here a geology class gets down and dirty at Big Falls County Park. Learning isn't just done in the classroom at UW-Eau Claire; we take learning into the "real world".

In this nursing class students practice their skills on someone who can't complain if they make a mistake -- he's plastic! Hands-on experience is one of the many tools that gives UW-Eau Claire students a competitive edge in the work force.

Students working in groups.

Whether you prefer the "ography's" or the "ology's", Phillips Science Hall has it all for you. In addition to various labs (where research opportunities abound), you'll find a planetarium with weekly shows discounted for students. Cheap date fave!

Student working with fine art project.

College is the time to explore your creativity! The Visual, Theatre and Music Arts facilities in Haas Fine Arts give you the opportunity to do just that. With numerous theatres, studios, galleries and practice rooms we offer countless opportunities to showcase your talent.
