The online UW Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness Management is a partnership of UW Extended Campus and UW-La Crosse, UW-River Falls, UW-Stevens Point, and UW-Superior. Our multi-campus partnership means you’ll learn from distinguished faculty across the UW System with diverse, interdisciplinary expertise and strong connections to the industry.
Although you will take courses taught by faculty from all partner campuses, you will apply to a “home” campus. Your home campus is the institution from which you will receive financial aid, advising, career services, and your diploma.
To learn more about this campus partner, explore the UW-La Crosse campus website.
