Why UW-Eau Claire?
UW-Eau Claire
Discover your purpose and passion
Prepare to go after your dreams — including the ones you didn't know you had. Blugolds are not defined by one discipline or profession. Instead you're encouraged to embrace your multiple passions. We call this the Power of AND. Many opportunities will help you discover your AND. An experience in another country or culture might make you think differently about the world, or faculty-student collaborative research may allow you to present at a national conference. That friend you met in the dorms or a student org could become a business partner. The possibilities are endless.
Engaged and energized
Is the Blugold life for you?

Above + beyond mentoring
UW-Eau Claire is attracting more students from inner-city neighborhoods in Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Indianapolis thanks to Dennis Beale, a grad who uses his own life experiences to help convince them college is a path to a better life.
