Status At-A-Glance
Core Strategy 1: Prepare Students
Core Strategy 5: Resources
Students at UWM are increasingly engaged in a variety
of high impact practices with many initiatives engaging
more new freshmen each year.
UWM generated over $3.6 million in 2010-11 in differential
tuition and over $42.7 million in tuition revenue from
enrollment increases over the past ten years. The Milwaukee
Initiative has focused on enhancing the facilities for teaching
and research at UWM including the opening for the School
of Freshwater Science in December 2012, the Integrated
Research Center in October 2012, the Zilber School of Public
Health in the summer of 2012 and the continued work of
transforming the Northwest Quadrant into a state of the art
facility for teaching, learning, and student support.
Core Strategy 2: More Graduates
UWM enrolled the most diverse student body in our history
for fall 2011. UWM also enrolls the largest number of
Wisconsin resident undergraduates and welcomes more
transfer students of any institution within the UW System.
Retention of first-time freshmen of color increased more than
13 percentage points over the last five entering cohorts.
Core Strategy 3: Well-Paying Jobs
Ninety percent of UW-Milwaukee graduates remain in the
state, with 48% living in the Milwaukee region. Over 882
businesses received development assistance from UWM
in 2011 and students enhanced their academic experience
at over 700 different internship and co-op locations.
Core Strategy 4:
Stronger Communities
Through the Institute of Service Learning thousands
of student service experiences are offered. UWM
enrolls increasing numbers of non-traditional degreeseeking students, veterans and senior citizens. The
Life Impact Program helps break the cycle of poverty
by supporting disadvantaged students with children.
Core Strategy 6:
Operational Excellence
UWM is a leader in on-line course delivery, making courses
and degrees accessible to more students. Over 6,100
undergraduates and 1,250 graduate students enrolled in at
least one on-line course in fall 2011. Phase 1 of the “Energy
Matters” program has generated a guaranteed reduction
worth over $700,000 and, for the second year in a row,
UWM was named to Princeton Reviews Green Colleges.
Core Strategy 7: Collaborations
In addition to offering collaborative degree programs,
UWM faculty, staff, and students partner with local
businesses and other universities to further business
development, service learning, community-based
research, the arts, and field work experiences.
C ore Strategy 1
Prepare Students
Ensure that students are prepared with the integrative learning skills, multicultural
competencies, and practical knowledge needed to succeed in and contribute to a rapidly
changing, increasingly global society.
UW-Milwaukee’s Progress on UW System Indicators
UW-Milwaukee prepares students for a global society through
a variety of experiences, both as part of the curriculum and
outside of the classroom. Among these experiences are the
high impact practices in the table below. Student participation in
these activities has been shown to contribute to gains in critical
thinking, one of the fundamental outcomes of learning, as well as
to gains in practical skills and in personal and social development.

Starting in Fall 2008 UWM offered students the option of
enrolling in Learning Living Communities (LLC) as part of their
residence hall experience. Beginning with only 77 students in
five LLCs, by fall 2011 participation had grown to 605 students in
17 LLCs. On the way to a goal of enrolling every new freshman
in a LLC, UWM is currently working to ensure 1,000 students the
opportunity in fall 2012. The most popular LLCs revolve around
Business, Healthcare, and Engineering.
The Honors Program at UWM has focused on encouraging
greater participation and recruitment of new freshmen increasing
from 135 students in fall 2005 to 195 students in fall 2011.
• Study abroad and exchange programs help students gain a
basic understanding of, respect for, and appreciation of cultural UWM encourages undergraduates to engage in research through
differences. Of UW-Milwaukee graduates in 2010-11, 8.2% studied

participated in faculty-directed research activity at UWM, a figure
that does not include those who engage in research independently
even while under the supervision of a faculty member.
Additional UW-Milwaukee Indicators
Through Access to Success, students at UWM are encouraged
to participate in a variety of curricular and co-curricular high
impact practices. Participation rates in these activities have
consistently increased over the last several years.
In the continuing effort to integrate Essential Learning
Outcomes into all facets of the student’s experience, 91% of
undergraduate programs have documented their learning
outcomes in WEAVEonline. Doing so allows programs to map
assessment plans to curriculum and other student experiences.
