The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) continues to rate within the top ten public universities in the Midwest, according to U.S. News and World Report.

UWSP earned high marks for having the highest percentage of full-time faculty members among the UW System’s regional universities.

"Research shows that students learn more, are happier with their education and are more likely to graduate if they have more contact with their professors," said Chancellor Linda Bunnell. "We have more full-time faculty members who are able share their time and enthusiasm for their subjects with their students, helping them connect to their future in both professional and personal ways."

UWSP’s faculty mentors consistently help students excel in research, resulting in students winning the prestigious Goldwater National Science Scholarship, earning student research grants, making presentations at professional conferences and presenting their research publicly at the Madison capitol.

UWSP faculty and staff members are consistently honored for teaching and scholarship, garnering nearly $8 million in external research and teaching grants in 2007. Two faculty members served abroad as Fulbright Scholars last year, and a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant from Libya will teach Arabic at UWSP this year through the Institute of International Education.
