STEM Scholar applications due July 1
The STEM Scholar Master’s program is a five-year program funded by the National Science Foundation. Each year, the program awards scholarships to new students who plan to register for 12–18 credits throughout an academic year who are legal citizens or U.S. residents, have a STEM undergraduate degree, and enroll in one of the following programs:
  • Master of Science in Engineering
  • Master of Science in Project Management
  • Master of Science in Integrated Supply Chain Management
If you are interested in joining the program, we are now accepting applications for the fall 2017 cohort. The priority deadline for the program is July 1.  An overview of the program and a full listing of the requirements can be found here.
Learn more about our current cohort at www.uwplatt.edu/distance-education/stem-student-profiles.

Participation deadline June 8
Due to increased federal regulations, UW-Platteville is required to verify that all enrolled students are participating in courses prior to the census date, June 8. All students will be required to demonstrate participation in each of their courses by completing the UW-Platteville Participation Policy discussion prior to the census date of each semester. You may review the Participation Policy for more details. Read more
