The University of Wisconsin–Green Bay is a public university in Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in 1965, it is part of the University of Wisconsin System. As of fall 2024, student enrollment had risen to 11,188, making the school the fastest growing university in Wisconsin.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the average net price of $12,878/year and low median debt of $11,250 make this one of the more affordable public university options, and the school's rapid enrollment growth suggests real momentum. However, the 53% graduation rate is a genuine concern — nearly half of students who start here don't finish, which is worth taking seriously when evaluating fit and support. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear plan for staying on track, but go in with eyes open about the completion challenges.
