Titans have a unique campus

advantage.

We don’t just talk about the

importance of a student-centered

campus. We demonstrate it every day.

a campus that can support academic

and student life and a faculty that is

dedicated to teaching. It’s easy to see

why Titans succeed—students are at

the heart of all that we do.

NATIONALLY RANKED LEADER IN SUSTAINABILITY


An education from

UW Oshkosh is

a transformative

experience. Your time

here will inspire you,

shape you and broaden

your horizons.

The UW Oshkosh traditions of

academic excellence, research

and sustainability mean everything

we do is done with a global

perspective. And our students

agree—Titans challenge themselves

and those around them every day

to make a difference.

UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

High-achieving students at

UW Oshkosh benefit from the

University Honors Program (UHP),

which is an academic community

that tailors to the research, academic

and career goals of honors students.

Incoming freshmen with a score of 26

or higher on their ACT and qualifying

GPAs are invited to join. Students who

meet certain academic criteria can also

join after their first semester on campus.

The student-faculty relationship is at

the center of UHP. Courses in UHP

are similar to the general education

courses that all students take, but

they are smaller, have more faculty

interaction and are more discussion-

based. Additionally, they include

increased opportunities for research

and outside experiences that enhance

academic learning. Learn more about UHP at uwosh.edu/honors

ALUMNI

When you graduate from UW Oshkosh

you earn a place in our proud

85,500-member alumni community.

Alumni chapters across the country

offer benefits to UW Oshkosh alumni,

including social and networking events.

Chapters span from Los Angeles to

Metro New York and many places in

between. Once a Titan, always a Titan.

STUDENT-CENTERED RESEARCH APPROACH

UW Oshkosh is a research-enhanced

public university. Research projects are

student-centered, collaborative and help

build critical thinking skills. UW Oshkosh

faculty members have a strong focus on

teaching, while maintaining impressive

research and publishing credentials.

All classes are taught by professors, not

teaching assistants, and low faculty-to-

student ratios mean that students work

directly with faculty to conduct, publish

and present research.

Titans are problem solvers on a global

scale, with research projects like geographic

mapping across the U.S., studying wild

orangutans in Indonesia and improving the

health of beaches and water tables. Learn

more at uwosh.edu/today/research

most sustainable campuses in the

Engineering Technology and Sustainable

Management focus on forward-looking

sustainability problems, and every

student gains an understanding of

global responsibility through our

general education program. Learn

more at uwosh.edu/sustainability
