Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin, with a regional population of 1.5 million people. It’s the center of business, industry and culture in the state. The city is known for its year-round festivals, beautiful lakefront, friendly community and historic architecture.

UWM is located in a quiet, safe and attractive residential area and is within walking distance of Lake Michigan. Milwaukee’s downtown is a short car or bus ride away. All UWM students have access to the B.O.S.S. safe ride service, which provides students with secure transportation every day, and U-PASS, a program through the Milwaukee County Transit System.

From outdoor concerts and film festivals to food trucks and 24-hour bike races, there’s always something to see and do in Milwaukee. The city’s biggest can’t-miss event is Summerfest, one of the largest music festivals in the world. uwm.edu/aboutmke

Why I Chose UW-Milwaukee

“My uncle suggested UWM to me because he knew I’d get more exposure to American culture in the Midwest than at other schools on the West and East Coasts. And he was right!”

Student Support“The Center for International Education offers so many resources to international students and even connects new international students with ones who have been at UWM for a few years. The Center for International Education staff think of everything you need to be successful.”

Networking“I joined the Chinese Student and Scholar Association and a fraternity for financial information students. Both organizations have really expanded my professional network for building my career.”

UWM’s ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACADEMYThe Intensive English Program prepares students for success by improving their English skills in an academic environment.

INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM (IEP)The IEP is based on the Common European Framework of Reference and the Canadian Language Benchmarks. IEP students can be conditional undergraduate or graduate admits (contingent upon graduate program approval). Conditionally admitted undergraduate and graduate students can move to full-time credit-bearing courses without submitting new TOEFL or IELTS scores.

UNDERGRADUATE ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES (EAP) Undergraduate EAP courses are divided into two distinct sequences:

• Reading and writing courses that lead students to fulfillment of the campus General Education Requirement for writing (English 102).

• Courses that help students admitted with English required improve their grammar, speaking and listening skills in their first year.

GRADUATE ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES (EAP)Graduate students who are admitted with English placement (TOEFL 68-78, IELTS 6.0) are required to take one course focusing on the skills where their TOEFL or IELTS sub-scores are the lowest – either Speaking and Listening or Reading and Writing. Any graduate student wishing to improve English language skills is welcome to take the EAP graduate level courses.

UWM is a one-of-a-kind university, where affordable tuition meets academic excellence. Here’s how UWM keeps things budget-friendly:

SCHOLARSHIPSAll incoming students, including international students, are encouraged to apply for scholarship opportunities. Go to UWM's Panther Scholarship Portal to learn more. uwm.edu/scholarships

ASSISTANTSHIPSGraduate students have the opportunity for tuition remission and a stipend via assistantships. There are four kinds of graduate student assistantships: teaching assistants, project assistants, program assistants and research assistants. uwm.edu/graduateschool

International students can work up to 20 hours per week on campus while school is in session. Other employment opportunities for international students include:

CURRICULAR PRACTICAL TRAINING (CPT)CPT provides off-campus work authorization after one year of study for students with an F-1 visa. A faculty member recommendation is required, and a UWM immigration coordinator must authorize the employment. Employment must be a required part of the program and must grant academic credit. Depending on the academic program, CPT options are limited.

OPTIONAL PRACTICAL TRAINING (OPT)OPT is authorization for employment in your field of study either before or after degree completion. Most F-1 students do 12 months of post-completion OPT after graduation. More than 80% of international students who apply for OPT have job placements within the first three months of graduation. OPT employment authorization is granted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

OPTIONAL PRACTICAL TRAINING STEM EXTENSIONSome students are eligible to apply for an 18-month extension during their initial 12 months of OPT, particularly students who have earned degrees in certain STEM fields and who are employed by companies registered with USCIS. Students apply directly to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for the OPT STEM extension.
