No matter your major, you can perform research alongside faculty mentors and
contribute to your field as early as the summer before your freshman year.
Biomedical sciences major Sanya says, “One of the best reasons to do research as
an undergrad is that you really get an understanding of if you like your major
or not. I was sitting in a basement lab analyzing cortisol samples and having
the best time. That really drove home to me that I’m pursuing the right
field.”From being an RA in a residence hall to a tutor in the Student Success
Center, UWM offers plenty of paid work experiences that directly relate to
students’ majors. Art major Natalie works in UWM’s University Housing office as
a graphic designer.Nonprof-IT brings students together to work on project teams
and get credit for providing IT solutions to nonprofit organizations. “I got
really unique leadership experience,” says Kaleb, an information science and
technology major. “I was basically a project manager for the whole
semester.”Prepare for a future career in health care with hospital- and
clinic-based learning experiences. Nursing major Aaron says, “I’m doing my
clinicals at Ascension St. Francis Hospital. I was nervous at first, but
providing care to patients and seeing how what I’ve learned in class applies to
real-life scenarios has given me confidence.”Step inside a Milwaukee classroom
as a student teacher for valuable teaching experience and insight. Art education
major Jason says, “Going into student-teaching, I was so nervous about speaking
in front of a class, and I had to keep referring back to my notes. But now I
feel a lot more comfortable going with the flow and interacting with
students.”Thanks to UWM’s close proximity to and connections with Milwaukee
businesses, including Fortune 500 companies, it’s common for students to get
internships that lead to valuable work experience. For example, mechanical
engineering student Erick did an internship at Harley-Davidson. UWM’s Lubar
Entrepreneurship Center (LEC) helps students in all disciplines develop the
creativity and know-how to advance their careers. For example, before Loren
graduated from UWM with a marketing degree, she worked with the LEC to launch an
all-natural, organic hair care company. No matter your major, you can perform
research alongside faculty mentors and contribute to your field as early as the
summer before your freshman year. Biomedical sciences major Sanya says, “One of
the best reasons to do research as an undergrad is that you really get an
understanding of if you like your major or not. I was sitting in a basement lab
analyzing cortisol samples and having the best time. That really drove home to
me that I’m pursuing the right field.”



LEARN BY DOING

A well-rounded education doesn’t come from textbooks alone. We encourage all UWM
students to build on what they learn in class with real-world experiences. Our
students travel to other countries, do research, land internships, create
startups, teach in Milwaukee classrooms, and more. No matter what you choose to
study, you can get experience in your field before graduation day and leave UWM
with a valuable degree and an impressive resume.
