What does University of Wisconsin-Green Bay offer in terms of athletics?

UW-Green Bay competes in NCAA Division I athletics as the Green Bay Phoenix, primarily in the Horizon League. Varsity competition is different from club sports and recreational activities: varsity teams have formal rosters, conference schedules, and eligibility rules.

Representative Phoenix varsity sports include basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, swimming and diving, cross-country, golf, and tennis. Students who want to participate without joining a varsity team can look at current club, intramural, and fitness offerings, which may change from year to year. A broad list of activities available to students should not be mistaken for a list of NCAA-sponsored teams.

What student groups and Associations are available at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay?

UW-Green Bay students can participate in organizations centered on academic interests, student representation, residence life, activities, and service. Reported examples include the Student Government Association, Psychology and Human Development Club, Student Ambassadors, Residence Hall Apartment Association, and Good Times.

Organizations differ in purpose: student government represents student interests, while an academic club offers peers a way to engage with a field outside class. Activity status and membership procedures can change, so the current student-organization directory is the appropriate place to check whether a particular group is meeting. Students can also distinguish recognized clubs from university-run offices and informal gatherings.

Who studies at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay?

UW-Green Bay reports total enrollment of about 11,174 students. Its student body includes first-time undergraduates, transfer students, and people studying at different ages and stages of work or family life.

In the reported entering population, 1,318 students were first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates, and 575 entered as transfers. About 87% of students were Wisconsin residents, making the university strongly regional in its enrollment. The reported student-to-faculty ratio is 12 to 1; that institution-wide figure does not describe the size of every class.

Reported demographic counts include White, Hispanic or Latino, Black, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, and multiracial students. Such counts describe enrollment, not the experiences or views of any group. Students seeking a clearer picture of their own likely classroom experience should examine their intended program's location, course format, and typical class schedule as well as university-wide totals.

How does student life look like at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay?

Student life at UW-Green Bay brings together a residential main campus and a substantial commuting population. That mix affects how students meet: some spend evenings near campus, while others fit classes and activities around travel, jobs, or family commitments.

Students can connect through orientation, campus programming, performing arts, recreation, and shared academic interests. Reported campus resources include a health clinic and personal counseling. For a commuter, an online learner, or a student attending another university location, the practical question is which activities and support services are available remotely or at the place where they take classes.

What libraries are available to students at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay?

Cofrin Library is UW-Green Bay's principal academic library. Its services support research and coursework through access to scholarly materials, research assistance, and study space. Students are also reported to be able to reserve study rooms.

Library databases and other electronic resources can be especially important to students working away from the main campus, although access may require a university login. Students who need an item not held locally can inquire about borrowing or document-delivery options. The reported library information does not identify a continuously open, 24-hour study area, so students planning late-night work should check current building and service hours.
