UW-Eau Claire is known as "Wisconsin's Singing University," and with 16 major music ensembles and countless vocal and jazz combos, you'll find out why. Participation isn't limited to music majors only, so even if you're an accounting major, but a musician at heart, try out!

Students singing

Even if you're not a music, dance or theater major, you can still showcase your passion and talent for the theater. Involvement in production work, on or off the stage, is open to all majors. Plus the admission fees for shows will not break your student piggy bank!

Students in a play

Blugold spirit thrives! Whether it's at a football game or sitting in 8 a.m. lectures, Blugolds wear their colors with pride! You can attend all athletic events for free, or you can go ahead and get in on the action by joining an intramural team or club sport.
