Innovation’s new address is just 90 minutes away—at UW-Eau Claire.
On our stunning riverside campus, game-changing opportunities and a culture of student-lead innovation mean something once-in-a-lifetime is happening every single day.
We offer tuition reciprocity for Minnesota students. That means you can attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire for about the same price you’d pay at a Minnesota State University System institution.
Stack up experiences, not just library books. Nearly 90% of Blugolds have at least 2 high-impact learning opportunities — like research, an internship, cultural immersion, or community-engaged learning — before they graduate.
Minneapolis residents are just a short, 90-minute drive from campus. But while you're in Eau Claire, you'll still have all the amenities you need — a thriving music scene, 380+ restaurants, 8 just-off-campus coffee shops, and 264 miles of bike trails with stunning river views.

The biggest surprise for me was the connection between the university and the city. I always had this idea that there would be a line in the sand between student and university events, and the city and community space. The university and community are very intertwined.
