Welcome to YOUniversity TV.

I'm Ferrari St. Paul
and today we're touring

the University of Wisconsin
Green Bay,

where the motto is
"Green looks good on you!"

The University
of Wisconsin Green Bay

is on the border
of the bay,

just 10 minutes from
downtown Green Bay

and only 30 minutes
from Door County,

one of the Midwest's premier
vacation destinations.

Downtown is fantastic.

We have quite a few bodies
of water in Green Bay here.

There is the bike trails
along the river,

which is good for rollerblading,
biking, walking.

There's also the farmer's market
during the summer months

and then there are
the coffee shops.

They have live music
and they have local art.

Green Bay's campus is surrounded
by 270 acres of arboretum,

which has several miles
of public recreational trails

for walking and bicycling.

You'll also find a brand new
recreation center,

a performing arts center,
and a golf course.

I like it that it's so green,
so calm,

and I'm the kind of person
who likes nature,

who likes peace,
likes to have their own space.

That's what I love
about this place.

On a rainy day,
there's no reason to get wet

on your way to class.

These underground
tunnels connect

all the academic classrooms
and University Union.

They stay warm in the winter
and cool in the summer.

Love it!

UW Green Bay's total
student body

is a little over
6, 200 students.

They come from 71
Wisconsin counties,

thirty-nine states,
and 27 countries.

Sixty-five percent
of students are female,

and there are over 400
students of color.

I think this school
is all about people,

and as soon as you come in,
the people in admissions

that are gonna give you your
tour are there to help you

and they want to make sure
that you succeed,

and I think that's
across the board

with students, faculty,
and staff.

Each applicant is reviewed
by UW Green Bay based on

high school records, GPA score,
ACT, or SAT score,

leadership and extracurricular
involvement,

and the applicant's statement.

The average incoming freshman
has a GPA of 3.3,

and an ACT score of 23.

We know from research that
the students who are most likely

to be successful here,
both in terms of

their grade point average and
their retention to graduation

are students who have engaged
outside of the classroom

through clubs or organizations.

Tuition for full-time
Wisconsin residents

is approximately
$14,000 per year,

while out-of-state tuition
is closer to $22,000,

including room and board.

Students from Minnesota,
Michigan, Kansas, Missouri,

Nebraska, North Dakota,
and Indiana may qualify

for reduced tuition under
a reciprocity agreement

or through the Midwest Student
Exchange Program.

The University of Wisconsin
Green Bay offers approximately

forty majors and a number
of pre-professional programs.

Business administration,
psychology, human development,

human biology,
and elementary education

are just a few
of the student favorites.

Many of the faculties in our
department really promote

active learning strategies
within the classroom,

so students aren't just sitting
there listening to us spout off

for an hour.

They are active and engaged
in what's happening

in the classroom and feel like
they're part of the process,

and we really do take
their feedback seriously.

Wisconsin-Green Bay has
strong environmental science

and human biology programs.

Students work with
all sorts of organisms,

even tadpoles and frogs.

UW Green Bay has about
140 full time tenure-track

faculty members--
97% hold a PhD

or the highest degree
in their field.

The current Wisconsin
Poet Laureate

and the recipient of the UW
System Teaching Excellence Award

are both members
of Green Bay's faculty.

What I enjoy about our faculty
here is they are involved

with the student body
and they put a lot of hours in

off the clock with us,
whether it be staying

after class or setting up
that meeting

that works on
our schedule

to help us better
understand something.

The campus offers fourteen
Division I athletic teams

that compete in
the Horizon League.

The Phoenix women's basketball
team earned post-season play

for eleven seasons straight,
including eight trips

to the NCAA tournament.

We have a really good
women's basketball team

and we can view
their games for free,

and there's a lot of
different variety of sports

like volleyball, basketball,
cross country running,

and football, golf...

There's a ton.

For all you football fans,
Lambeau Field

is a downtown
Green Bay hot spot.

That's right,
the Packers' home turf

is right through those gates!

About 2,000 residents live
on campus in apartments,

residence halls,
and suites.

Those who are lucky
even get a view

of the nine-hole
golf course.

The recreation center,
new Kress events center,

and the main campus
are just a few minutes away.

We have our own bathroom,
everything is carpeted.

We have nice walls,
nice furniture.

In the traditional apartments,
they're two-bedroom apartments

for four people and we have
a kitchen and a living room

and outside entrance.

Green Bay has about 90
student clubs and organizations

and if you like golf,
the green is where it's at.

Phlash the Phoenix and I
are playing a few holes

here at the Shorewood
Golf Course right on campus.

Or if you just want to grab
a cup of coffee,

head down to Broadway
to satisfy your java craving.

Beyond the three T's--
you know, the tunnels,

the toilets, and trees
because it is a gorgeous campus.

It's a beautiful place to live.

The reason to come to UW-GB
is the interdisciplinary

approach to education,
hands down--

no "ifs," "ands,"
or "buts" about it.

So if you're looking for
a university with a beautiful

and safe campus
and state-of-the-art facilities,

check into the University
of Wisconsin Green Bay.

For graduation,
to say good bye to Green Bay,

students throw their shoes
up into this tree.

So, in the spirit of UW
Green Bay

and to end our tour today...

I'm Ferrari St. Paul,
and I'll see you later!
