UW-WHITEWATER AT ROCK COUNTY

For six decades, the Rock County campus in Janesville has opened doors for students who are seeking opportunity, looking for a fresh start, balancing work and family, or simply discovering who they are. Get to know our people — students whose lives are changed because someone believes in them and about faculty and staff who meet students where they are and help them imagine where they can go — in this short video.

On UW-Whitewater’s Rock County's campus, you’ll find a friendly, welcoming campus, located in Janesville, that embraces a wide range of students — from students of diverse backgrounds to nontraditional students juggling families and a full-time job to those who are the first in their family to go to college. In fact, 61% of our new students — and 73% of our transfer students — are first-generation!

Whether you want to study nursing or engineering or take your general education classes before transitioning to our Whitewater campus or transferring to another college in the Universities of Wisconsin, we’ll work with you to make a plan that you can achieve.

Our small class sizes and abundant resources, combined with our affordable tuition and flexible scheduling, are designed for students like you.
