Winona State University
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaWinona State University is primarily an undergraduate university, the oldest of the schools that constitute Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU). It is not part of the University of Minnesota, the state's land grant institution. Founded in 1858 to train teachers, today it offers more than 80 undergraduate majors and 10 pre-professional programs. Enrollment for fall 2007 was 8,274 students. It has several master's programs, most relating to nursing and education. WSU also offers a doctoral program in nursing. The original campus is in Winona, Minnesota, and there is a branch campus in Rochester, Minnesota (WSU Rochester Center). Pre-professional programs include medicine, law and dentistry. Its pre-medical program operates in conjunction with Mayo Medical School, affiliated with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Its school song is "Hail! Winona"
Winona State University is currently in the process of implementing a program dubbed the "Learning for the 21st Century Initiative." Previously it was called "The Winona Experience," which generated some controversy, and before that "The New University." This radical series of changes in University operation and structure seeks to better the vocational-education experience of each student.
WSU is also noted as being one of the earliest universities in the country to offer a "Laptop University" program. In this program each student, upon acceptance, is required to lease his or her choice of either an Apple Macintosh or Gateway (PC) laptop directly from the university. The purpose of this program is to increase the bond between education and technology. WSU's laptop program has been used as a model for many like it nation-wide.

History
Winona State University was founded in 1858 when the first Minnesota State Legislature established normal schools “to prepare teachers for the common schools of the state.” The first tax supported school west of the Mississippi River was established at Winona to train teachers for a new frontier. Citizens of Winona quickly supported the school with donations of more than $7,000 in money and land.

College Advice |
Question: Winona State University or University of Wisconsin-Madison?Im looking into chemistry as a minor study. I would major in English. I like to meet new people, and party (both party schools, although that isnt the reason I would attend). Im trying to figure out which school would fit me best. Personal experience with either colleges would be appriciated! Thanks for answering guys! Im interested inTraveling abroad to England or Scotland. I live about an hour away from Winona, and I would be paying for my own tuition. :)19 months ago
Best AnswerParty, eh? Stay home and go to community college for a couple of years instead of wasting your parents' money on a real college. The answer to your question is definitely Winona State. |
Question: Winona State University - weigh in please!?Hi everyone. I'm looking at colleges in Minnesota, particularly Winona State University. Can anyone give me some information about what it's like to go there? You know, the atmosphere, the campus...any information is really great. Thanks!28 months ago
Best AnswerI am a junior here in WSU :) just transferred to here 5 months ago. It is a pretty decent university. The campus is not really big and so does the class size, which is good as you get more attention by prof. There's not a lot to say actually about WSU. just like any other university they have their own positives and negatives. The negatives will have to be the city of Winona....very small, very quiet, not a lot to do. and the weather's not ideal but it'll be more or less the same across Minnesota. The area's quite beautiful though with bluffs, lakes and river surrounding the city. The positives: they have a very good program for nursing and education. The professors build a good relationship with students and are always willing to help. As for schoolmates; you'll always find jerks everywhere you go across America, but There are not a lot of them here in WSU. Hope that helps :) |
Question: Winona State University?Has anyone gone here, known someone who has gone here, or heard about this university? I am just wondering what some people think about this college. It is in Minnesota.44 months ago
Best AnswerI have known some friends who went to Winona State University in Minnesota. They both work with computers now and have a good jobs. It is a beautiful area. |
