From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (also known as UW-Eau Claire or UWEC) is a public university located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States. The university is categorized as a postbaccalaureate comprehensive institution in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

History

The University was founded in 1916 as the Eau Claire State Normal School, offering one-, two- and three-year teachers' courses and a principals' course. In 1927, the name of the school was changed to the Eau Claire State Teachers College and the school began offering a bachelor's degree program. The campus was also altered to accommodate a 300-man detachment from the Army Air Corps.

In 1951, the Wisconsin Board of Regents authorized the school to offer bachelor of arts and science degrees in liberal arts; subsequently, the name of the school was changed to the Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire. In 1964 the Board of Regents gave university standing to the state colleges, and the institution at Eau Claire was renamed Wisconsin State University–Eau Claire. Finally, in 1971 the name of the institution was changed to the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire following the merger of the Wisconsin State University System and the University of Wisconsin System.
