STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point once again ranks among the top public, regional schools in the Midwest.
US News and World Report ranked UWSP as the 14th-best public university in the 12-state Midwest region, according to the 2027 rankings.
The publication considered UWSP’s graduation rate, percent of full-time faculty, faculty salary rank, financial resources rank, and a peer assessment by peer institutions.
The university also ranked 8th among the Best Value Schools for In-State Students and among the Best Value Schools in the region for its relatively lower tuition and its high percentage of need-based aid in the form of grants and scholarships.
“We are helping our students afford their college education,” said Chancellor Bob Brinkman in a press release. “More than 92% of in-state students receive aid in grants or scholarships, making the net cost low. With our growing program offerings, investment in new facilities and engaging faculty and staff who care about student success, UWSP is truly a good value.”
Other UW campuses on the list included La Crosse (#3), Eau Claire (#6), Whitewater (#8), and River Falls (#14, tie).
