Graduate and Extended Learning

Thinking about graduate school options?

Did you know that UWL offers graduate certificates, master's degrees, and even two doctoral degree programs? Programs are available in on-campus, blended, and fully online formats. 

Current undergraduate students and families who might be interested in graduate study after college can learn a bit about UWL's graduate programs by helping choose the People's Choice winner for the Say it in 6 Competition. Online voting is open November 6- November 12. 

Say it in 6 is an online competition that challenges students to share a message about their graduate work using just six words and a single image. It's a great way to learn about the variety of programs at UWL, and learn from students about their experiences. 

You can learn more about the event by visiting the Say it in 6 website. Or, check out our program options by visiting our online graduate program listing.
