Dual Degree Therapeutic Recreation

"Being at UWL and in the Dual Degree Therapeutic Recreation major is extremely rewarding. I will always value the friends I’ve made within the department that have pushed me out of my comfort zone and supported my decisions as well as the professors that have always been there to answer my questions and encouraged me to challenge myself."

Microbiology

"People say bigger schools may have more opportunity, but I think UWL has those opportunities. And I’m able to keep the smaller classes, and I have the ability to talk to my instructor and go to office hours. Most of all, I’ve been able to keep the relationships I made as an undergraduate. And those connections have been really important."
