Meet us in Milwaukee.

Whether you’re from Shanghai or Chicago, Tallahassee or Toyko, you’re going to fall in love with our hometown. Milwaukee offers professional sports teams, live music, world-renowned festivals, award-winning dining, and a vibrant arts and theatre scene. It’s large enough to offer all this and more, but small enough to get around easily.

 

You’ll also find hundreds of ways to Be The Difference in our surrounding communities through volunteer service opportunities and service-learning courses. And with several top employers making Milwaukee home, you may just find yourself sticking around after you get your diploma.

THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO GET HERE.
