Why Earn Degrees in Milwaukee?
In addition to being a place of historical distinction and affordable housing, Milwaukee has a lot to offer to students. Its location on the shores of Lake Michigan creates a space of beauty: Milwaukee has a glacier-sculpted terrain, steep bluffs, and plenty of streams, rivers, and inland lakes. Although winters in Milwaukee are not for the faint at heart, the season offers great outdoor recreation opportunities, including ice skating, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Warmer weather allows for sailing, windsurfing, and kite surfing. Fishing thrives in both winter and summer.

With approximately a couple dozen colleges in Milwaukee, programs of every kind can be pursued. And on your time off, you can find culture, art, and entertainment, including:
  •   World-class comedy
  •   Performing arts, including theatre, ballet, and music
