Profile of Students
The
student body at the UW-Marshfield/Wood County is diverse.
Students range from high school students who are dual-enrolled
in university classes, to retirees taking classes for a degree
or personal enrichment. About 65 percent of students are
traditional students who have enrolled immediately after
completing high school or who are transfers from another
college.
The
remaining 35 percent are adults who have been out of school for
some time and are either entering college for the first time or
returning to college following a hiatus. Most of our adult
students are employed full- or part-time. To better serve their
needs, we provide both day and evening degree programs.
We
serve students of all races and nationalities, from
international students recently arrived from other countries to
students whose families have lived in central Wisconsin for many
generations. This diversity gives our students an opportunity to
explore and interact with a variety of cultures and viewpoints
as part of their college experience.
