Student Life

What will you make of your Wisconsin School of Business experience?

The Wisconsin School of Business is one of 20 colleges and schools at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of the country’s best “Public Ivies.” As such, it’s your window to the campus, the community, and the world.

There’s so much to do-whatever your passions! The Madison community, the campus as a whole, and the business school itself offer so many kinds of opportunities to pursue your interests or find and develop new ones.

You could participate in a case competition, run an investment conference, represent the school to visitors and guests as a Student Ambassador or run for an office of one of our many student organizations, including Beta Gamma Sigma-the international honorary business society founded here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison more than 100 years ago.

You could also hone your business acumen by volunteering on the student union’s live music committee, or establish your culture of giving by participating in the Morgridge Center for Public Service or one of the many school and/or student-led community outreach activities.

Your life and choices here at the business school will not only build an impressive resume-they will help you learn and become a better person, as well. You will build lifelong memories and friendships, get to know yourself better, and just do fun stuff!

The only limits are your imagination.
