School Description

Provided by University of Wisconsin- Stout

UW-Stout is a comprehensive, career-focused polytechnic university where students, faculty and staff use applied learning, scientific theory and research to solve real-world problems, grow the state’s economy and serve society. UW-Stout has a long and rich history of providing a distinctive array of programs that produce graduates who are prized in the marketplace. Year in and year out, well over 90 percent of our students are employed a year after graduation, and most of them work in their field of study.

Although students come to UW-Stout for myriad reasons, they all benefit from our active, innovative and technology-rich environment. Our applied learning approach combines theory and practice to fully engage students in learning, and we constantly adapt to the new demands of business, industry and society to ensure that our graduates are ready for the marketplace.

Many students come for a particular program that isn’t available anywhere else in the UW System. More than half of the current programs at UW-Stout are only offered here. We have developed world-class programs in many areas and are attracting topnotch professors to teach in those areas.

UW-Stout's programs prepare students for productive careers in business, industry, technology, education, human development, and art and design. At "Wisconsin's Polytechnic University," students, faculty and staff use applied learning, scientific theory and research to solve real-world problems, grow the state’s economy and serve society.

Many students come to UW-Stout because of the warm, inviting and safe atmosphere that welcomes them to campus, and for the progressive leadership that keeps UW-Stout-the first university to win the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award--on the cutting edge of educational advances.

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The University of Wisconsin-Stout (UW-Stout) is a member campus of the University of Wisconsin System. The school was founded in 1891 in Menomonie, Wisconsin and enrolls more than 8,400 students. It is named in honor of its founder, James Huff Stout, and is one of only two universities in the UW System not named for the city in which it is located.

Since 1971, UW-Stout is one of only two special mission universities in the UW System: it provides focused programs "related to professional careers in industry, technology, home economics, applied art and the helping professions." UW-Stout's programs prepare students for productive careers in industry, commerce, education, human development through the study of technology, applied mathematics and science, art and design, business, industrial management, human behavior, family and consumer sciences, and manufacturing-related engineering and technologies.

UW-Stout offers 34 undergraduate majors, 19 graduate majors, and two advanced graduate majors.

In 2001, UW-Stout was the first university to receive the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.

On March 9, 2007, Stout was officially designated "Wisconsin's Polytechnic University" by the Board of Regents. A polytechnic university offers a comprehensive curriculum that prepares graduates for professional careers. A polytechnic university blends theory with practice to produce innovative solutions to real world problems. A polytechnic university works closely with business, industry and other educational institutions to benefit students and grow the economy.

Best Answer

Well I don't know anything about Coe, but I go to UW Stout and I love it. I couldn't have made a better decison. I have found friends that have become my family and picked the major that I want to do for the rest of my life. The price is actually about 7500 a year (including living expenses) which is soo good. I HIGHLY recomend Stout.
