Designated an R1 research institution, UWM educates more than 26,000 students annually and is an engine for innovation in southeastern Wisconsin. Founded over 60 years ago, in the belief that Milwaukee would need a great public university to become a great city, UWM has a dual research and access mission aimed at serving the diverse needs of Wisconsin's largest metropolitan area by furthering opportunities at all levels for students who may be financially or educationally disadvantaged. More than one-third of its students are the first in their families to attend college and 30 percent are students of color. It is the largest educator of veterans in Wisconsin, with more than 1,000 enrolled each year under the federal G.I. Bill.

In addition, UWM was the first university in the nation to implement an inclusive housing policy.
