The University of Wisconsin–Marshfield/Wood County, part of the University of Wisconsin Colleges, is a campus of the University of Wisconsin System located in Marshfield, Wisconsin, USA.
History
Originally an extension of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the school began in 1963 with three buildings.[1] Three more buildings were constructed in 1971.[1] The University of Wisconsin System was formed in 1973,[1] with UW–Marshfield/ Wood County as one of 14 charter University of Wisconsin Center two-year campuses.[1]
School
One of 13 freshman-sophomore campuses of the UW Colleges, UW–Marshfield/Wood County offers a general education associate degree and is one of six UW Colleges campuses that offer a Bachelor in Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree. After beginning studies at UW–Marshfield/Wood County, students may transfer to other UW System institutions and to colleges and universities throughout the country to complete their bachelor's degrees, or complete the BAAS at Marshfield/Wood County.
The campus enrolls approximately 650 students per semester. As of 2015, the Dean and CEO is Dr. Keith Montgomery.
Effective July 1st, 2018, UW-Marshfield/Wood County and UW-Marathon County will become satellite campuses of the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point as a result of the 2018 restructuring of the UW-System.
Campus
The campus, west of downtown Marshfield, Wisconsin, has a 114-acre (46 ha) arboretum, a 340-seat theater, an arts center and specialist science accommodation. The campus underwent a $5.1 million expansion and remodeling project in 1998.[1]
