You've seen it before ... bright kids, anticipating a bright future. They head off to college with great promise. But for whatever reason, not all those bright minds reach their full potential and actually earn a bachelor's degree.

But at UW-Marshfield/Wood County, all students stand a better chance. We offer small classes with highly qualified faculty whose only mission is to teach. Our faculty and staff know students by name. They know their families and they know the obstacles many students face. As a result, UW-Marshfield/Wood County is a leader in higher education. Consider this: 80% of students who start at UW-Marshfield/ Wood County return for a second year. This compares to:

71% UW 4-yr

66% WTCS

64% WI private

68% Out of WI

And, our students report higher GPAs. Students who transfer from "The Wood "average a 3.1 GPA in the first year. That compares to a 2.8 GPA earned by WTCS transfers.
