Go Beyond Books & Classrooms
Applied learning and research are the heart of a UW-Stout Polytechnic education. It's built into every one of our 170+ programs, starting as early as your first semester. You'll access industry-standard labs and studios that outnumber traditional classrooms three to one, work on faculty-mentored research, and complete industry-sponsored projects that put your name on solutions for real organizations. While students at traditional universities wait until senior year for a single hands-on project, you'll be building a body of work from day one.
