Its 14 schools and colleges include Wisconsin’s only schools of architecture, freshwater sciences, and public health. As one of the nation’s top research universities, UWM partners with leading companies in Wisconsin and beyond to advance knowledge, bring new discoveries to market and prepare students for work in a global economy. Nearly 80 percent of our almost 200,000 alumni live and work in Wisconsin, further contributing to the state’s health, vibrancy, and economic growth, particularly with the largest employers including six of Wisconsin’s eight Fortune 500 companies whose headquarters are in Milwaukee. Situated in the most diverse region and the economic center of the State of Wisconsin, UW-Milwaukee’s guiding values and strategic priorities related to diversity strives to increase the talent pipeline through a commitment to teaching, learning and employment.
