The University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point at Marshfield (formerly University of Wisconsin–Marshfield/Wood County), is a satellite campus of the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point 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]
On July 1st, 2018, UW-Marshfield/Wood County and UW-Marathon County became satellite campuses of the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point as a result of the 2018 restructuring of the UW System.[2] The schools have subsequently changed their names to reflect their new status.[3]
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.
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]
Athletics
Students may compete in six varsity sports in the Wisconsin Collegiate Conference: women's volleyball, men and women's basketball, men and women's tennis, and men's golf. During the 2012 season, the women's volleyball won a share of the WCC Western Division Championship with a record of 9-2 (3-1).[citation needed] In the 2012-2013 season, the men's team finished with a record of 19-5 (9-1), winning the WCC Western Division title and advancing to the WCC State Tournament Final Four. That same year, the women's team finished with a record of 24-2 (19-1), winning the WCC regular season title and WCC State Championship.[citation needed]
