Our Polytechnic Advantage

Technology-forward. Industry-informed. People-focused.

• Laptop and degree-relevant software included in tuition.
• 3x as many labs and studios on campus as traditional classrooms.
• 100% of students earn practical experience before graduation.
• 99.4% of graduates are employed or continuing education within six months.

Degrees That Do More. Minors That Matter.

Our degrees are organized by career area (rather than college), so it's easy to find what you’re looking for and discover opportunities you never considered. And majors can be paired with almost any minor from any area. Combine art and business, engineering with anthropology or cybersecurity and entrepreneurship. Create a bigger, broader career path that empowers you to do more of what matters to you.

Scholarships & Financial Support

We're invested in helping you address the costs of college. At UW-Stout, 75% of first-year, full-time undergraduates receive some form of financial support, with the average financial aid package totaling over $11,200. 

Hundreds of incoming student scholarships are awarded to new entering UW-Stout students. And with a single application, you'll be considered for more than $1.2M in scholarships awarded annually by our Foundation.

Tuition Reciprocity for Minnesota Residents

Through state reciprocity agreements, Minnesota residents can attend UW-Stout—the only polytechnic university in Wisconsin or Minnesota—and pay the same tuition that you would for a traditional Minnesota university. That means thousands of dollars in savings over your college career! (Trust us, your adult self will thank you later.)
