Mission The fundamental mission of UW-Platteville and the entire UW System is to serve the people of Wisconsin. This basic goal is expressed in detail in the mission statement adopted in 1988 and revised in 2002.

The first priorities of UW-Platteville's faculty are teaching and advising. Students benefit from direct contact with faculty; classes are led by faculty/academic staff members. Student:instructor ratio is approx 16 to 1. Of a faculty of 336, approximately 90% hold doctorates/terminal degrees.
Description The University of Wisconsin-Platteville is one of 13 publicly supported comprehensive universities in the University of Wisconsin System.

UW-Platteville is located in a unique area known as the "Driftless Region." Our university sits on 326 acres that make up campus grounds which includes: approximately 100 acres of athletic fields, lawn, and manicured landscaping; 150 acres of woods and prairies; 65 acres of sidewalks, parking lots, and streets as well as 90 acres of land on the Platte Mound (the lands surrounding and extending beyond the "Big M").

Founded in 1866, UW-Platteville (UWP) is the oldest public institution in the State of Wisconsin, and is considered one of the safest campuses in the nation. We are proud of our students' pursuit of academic excellence and the leadership they continually demonstrate throughout the state, region and nation. As our nickname implies, our UW-Platteville "Pioneers" have created the very foundation for which we are known. Our leadership in the Colleges of Business, Industry, Life Science, and Agriculture; Engineering, Mathematics, and Science; and Liberal Arts and Education helps students build on the foundation of strong values, commitment to excellence, leadership for a stronger world and a knowledge of technology which prepares them for life in the 21st century.

Everyday is a great day to be a Pioneer!
