Major at UW-Platteville: Software Engineering

What is your favorite thing about UW-Platteville? I like the small class sizes and the opportunity to meet new people.

Why did you choose UW-Platteville? I chose UW-Platteville due to the cost and close proximity to my hometown. UW-Platteville was one of the only colleges in the midwest to offer software engineering as a major. Along with that - the great community, and outstanding track and field team!
