Experiences at University of Wisconsin-Stout

Let me go by saying that the University of Wisconsin-Stout is one of the best schools I attended. It is also one of the best universities in Wisconsin and in North America. UW-Stout is located in a small town of Menomonie, Wisconsin, (this is one way of spelling Menomonie!) near Eau Claire. I was a distance education student with the university by which I took my courses online and through video conferencing. I wasn't a traditional on-campus student. The challenge for me as a distance ed student in Industrial Management was not easy but it gave me an edge of communication to establish my learning skills. Overall it was a good program. I had some "issues" from other people, especially in Milwaukee that I had to leave the city to go onto the campus. Not true! I kept my mind focused on what I had to do, and when to do it. The experience also gave me a boost of coordinating my schedules between online work, video conference work and addtional work with employment, activities, and etc. Believe me folks, it worked for me.

Now the University is a "polytechnic" university. What is "polytechnic?" According to the Merriam-Webster website the word is defined as: "relating to or devoted to instruction in many technical arts or applied sciences" That is what is Stout is about right now. And my major is one of the prime examples of this philosophy. The university is also a recipent of the Malcolm Baldrige Award, in higher education.
