Experience UW-Eau Claire
UW-Eau Claire has so much to offer. We know, you've probably heard that before. But really, UWEC is an affordable option that's a unique blend of personal relationships combined with the atmosphere of a small, private college.
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?

Exploring Hmong history in China
During Winterim, several Blugolds were part of an immersion where they learned about and experienced the rich history and culture of Hmong people and other minorities living in Southwest China.
