Hey everyone! I'm seriously considering colleges in Oshkosh for my college application list. Could anyone give me a general idea of what the college scene is like there? What kind of institutions are there - liberal arts, research-based? Any info helps!
Oshkosh, Wisconsin, actually boasts quite a diverse range of educational institutions for a city its size. It is home to two significant educational institutions - the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and the Fox Valley Technical College.
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (UW Oshkosh) is one of the larger public universities in the state and provides a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs. It's divided into four colleges: the College of Business, College of Education and Human Services, College of Letters and Science, and College of Nursing. These colleges cover a broad spectrum of disciplines from business and education to the sciences and nursing. Regardless of what you're interested in studying, there's a good chance you can pursue it at UW Oshkosh. The university also prides itself on its research opportunities for students, with some research-based programs available.
Fox Valley Technical College, on the other hand, is a community college that offers a variety of vocational, technical, and adult education programs. The courses here tend to be more practically oriented, focusing on providing specific career skills and technical education in a wide range of fields.
