About This School

University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is a public institution located in Stevens Point, Wisconsin with approximately 7,306 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 92%. The average net price after financial aid is $14,559 per year.

The University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point is a public university in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, United States. Established in 1894, it is part of the University of Wisconsin System. UW-Stevens Point grants associate, baccalaureate, and master's degrees, as well as doctoral degrees in audiology, educational sustainability, and physical therapy. The 406-acre (164 ha) main campus includes the 280-acre (113 ha) Schmeeckle Reserve, 15 academic buildings, and 13 residence halls. UWSP also has two branch campuses located in Wausau and Marshfield.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $13,726/year net price with only $14,674 in median debt at graduation, this school is genuinely affordable, and its natural resources and health sciences programs (including a doctorate in physical therapy and audiology) give it real academic identity. However, the 56% graduation rate is a meaningful concern — only about half of students who start here finish, which is worth taking seriously when weighing your options. Worth considering if you're drawn to environmental or health-related fields and want a low-cost degree, but ask hard questions about academic support before committing.
