Major Advantage In all academic areas from business to engineering to psychology and nursing, the curriculum is evolving and designed to provide students the tools necessary to evaluate and address current and future problems as leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators of tomorrow—to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. Valuable Skills The future will favor people who are flexible, highly adaptable, entrepreneurial, and effective communicators. Students at UW-Green Bay will be prepared and challenged to integrate ideas from different fields, seek connections, consider more ideas rather than fewer, to manage uncertainty rather than fear it, and to always remember there is rarely one answer. Connections Outside the Classroom Students, faculty and staff connect learning to life, every day, through research, internships, paid employment and volunteer involvement in the community. Green Bay and its surrounding region provide a wealth of opportunity, and our students reap the advantage of strong community partnerships.
