Major at UW-Platteville: Industrial Technology Management

What is your favorite thing about UW-Platteville? The small community atmosphere.

Why did you choose UW-Platteville? It was a mixture of being affordable, giving myself an opportunity of living far away from home (I live 5hrs away from Platteville), they had majors I was interested in, and most importantly they had Division III Track and Field and Cross Country.
