For over 150 years, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville has served as an educational leader and economic hub for Southwest Wisconsin and the surrounding counties in Iowa and Illinois. The strength of the university is built on the history and traditions of our campuses located in Platteville and Baraboo Sauk County. To continue our legacy, the Strategic Plan relies on everyone—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and regional partners—to contribute to its success.

The 2025-2031 Strategic Plan is built upon our mission and vision, with a focus on fostering a culture where innovation and authenticity can flourish to meet the ever-changing needs of our students. This is not a document to be shelved; it is a living guide, integral to our ongoing journey. At its core are our strategic objectives—key goals that will drive the growth, innovation, and impact of our institution.

  • Strategic Objective 1: Foster transformative teaching and learning
  • Strategic Objective 2: Achieve optimal enrollment
  • Strategic Objective 3: Enhance operational excellence across the institution
  • Strategic Objective 4: Foster holistic wellness across the university and extend its benefits throughout the region

As the university brings the strategic plan to life, divisions and departments will be encouraged to develop or adjust their operational plans to reflect the university’s broader objectives. This ensures that every corner of the university is working toward the same vision, creating a cohesive and unified effort. This plan will not only guide our university’s growth and success but will also strengthen the bonds that unite us as a community.
