UWM Was My First Choice
“UWM stuck out to me for two main reasons: It has a really good education program focused on urban education, and its location is in a super diverse city.”
Real-World Experience
“You can never get too much experience when it comes to teaching, and UWM had me in a secondgrade classroom first semester of my freshman year. Getting my foot in the door right away really helped.”
Volunteering
“I like doing good in the world, so I volunteer at a food pantry, and I’ve tutored elementary school kids. Those opportunities came to me through UWM.”

Choosing a major is a huge decision, but it’s not one you have to make alone. UWM’s Pathway Advising office helps undecided students explore their options with themed pathways called metamajors. Each metamajor has a general academic theme covering multiple majors, so you can try out different majors but still be on track to graduate on time.
