It is part of the University of Wisconsin System and has an annual enrollment of more than 10,000 students. The university, which offers bachelor's and master's degrees along with other educational certificates, is categorized as a postbaccalaureate comprehensive institution in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The school is consistently ranked as a "tier 1" best Midwestern university by U.S. News and World Report. Additionally, the university has received high marks from the Princeton Review, Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, Money Magazine, USA Today, and other leading publications.
Due to its location on an "especially attractive portion" of the Chippewa River in the Chippewa Valley, it is often referred to as "Wisconsin's most beautiful campus."[3] The campus consists of 28 major buildings spanning 333 acres (135 ha). An additional 168 acres (68 ha) of forested land owned by Eau Claire is used for environmental research.[4]
The university is affiliated with the NCAA's Division III sports program as well as the WIAC Intercollegiate Conference. The university currently has no mascot, though its students, staff, and faculty are referred to as "Blugolds."[5]

[edit] History
The university was founded in 1916 as the Eau Claire State Normal School. It offered one-, two- and three-year teachers' courses and a principals' course. Emanuel L. Philipp, the Governor of Wisconsin, attended the university's founding ceremony. At the ceremeony Philipp said the university was founded "in order that you, the sons and daughters of the commonwealth, might have better educational service." He went on to say the university would "go on benefiting [the state of Wisconsin] as long as the walls of this massive building [Schofield Hall] last."[6]
In its role as a college primary for student-teachers, an Eau Claire Area School District building called the Park Elementary School was operated on-site. It was used for both teaching elementary school children and for allowing new teachers to observe classes without interfering with the daily operation of the school. The building had a two story design with a hidden third story balcony that offered a view of the classrooms.
Due to the changing educational focus of the university, this method of teaching new teachers fell out of use and the Park Elementary School was closed. Most of the building was repurposed for general university classroom use, with about a third of the space dedicated to a child daycare center.
In 1927, the name of the school was changed to the Eau Claire State Teachers College and the school began offering a bachelor's degree program. The campus was also altered to accommodate a 300-man detachment from the Army Air Corps.
Eau Claire's role as an educational institution underwent profound changes in the 1940s and 1950s. The university saw a significant rise in enrollment and widened its scope beyond educating future teachers. W. R. Davies, speaking at a university assembly, said "the goal is a college of education that will rank as one of the best in the middlewest, with a wide enough offering to truly serve the needs of the college youth of northwest Wisconsin."[8] In 1951, the Wisconsin Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System authorized the school to offer bachelor of arts and science degrees in liberal arts; subsequently, the name of the school was changed to the Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire.
During the 1960s, the university saw further expansion. Science and art buildings were erected and several dormitories were built or expanded to meet the needs of an ever-growing student population. Additionally, the university began to market itself more aggressively because of increased competition from surrounding campuses. Eau Claire's famous nickname - "Wisconsin's Most Beautiful Campus" - was first developed during this time. Highlighting the university's aesthetic appeal, an Eau Claire poet wrote, "Through and from a shady glen / A charming streamlet hies / And rippling along its picturesque way / A campus glorifies."[9] In 1964 the Board of Regents gave university standing to the state colleges, and the institution at Eau Claire was renamed Wisconsin State University – Eau Claire. The 1960s are remembered as a "flowering of excellence on the campus."[10]
The year 1962 is especially remembered because Martin Luther King, Jr. visited the campus and famously called on president John F. Kennedy to issue a second Emancipation Proclamation.[10] Speaking directly to Eau Claire students, faculty and administrators, King said "the first proclamation freed us from slavery - the second will free us from segregation, which is actually nothing more than slavery."[11]
During the late 1960s, the university was involved in several notable protests against the Vietnam War, including a 42-hour vigil and several marches. Though there were numerous protests, all of them remained peaceful. After the Kent State shootings, the university community decided to plant four trees as a memorial to the dead students.[12] A particularly important protester, Eau Claire student John Laird, the son of U.S. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird, made headlines when he announced his opposition to the war in Vietnam and his intention to join his fellow students in peaceful protest.[13]
In 1971, the name of the institution was changed to the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire following the merger of the Wisconsin State University System and the University of Wisconsin System. In subsequent years the university would solidify its tradition as a liberal arts campus. Currently, the university aims to provide "rigorous undergraduate liberal education" alongside "distinctive professional and graduate programs that build on and strengthen our proud tradition of liberal education."[14] Since the 1971 merger, Eau Claire has expanded its course offerings, added more faculty and students and enlarged campus grounds. Eau Claire has also acquired hundreds of acres of forested land primarily used for environmental research and has recently acquired St. Bede's Monastary.[15] The university has become one of the most selective in the University of Wisconsin System.[16]

[edit] Academics
Eau Claire is divided into four colleges: The College of Business, The College of Arts and Sciences, The College of Education and Human Sciences, and The College of Nursing. Although Eau Claire is primarily an undergraduate institution, the university does offer select advanced degrees in business, communication, education, English, history, and psychology. Beyond master's degrees, UW-Eau Claire offers a single doctoral degree, Doctor of Nursing Practice.
The University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools since 1950. Various agencies also fully accredit specific programs, and UW–Eau Claire is affiliated with a number of organizations. Eau Claire has around 80 undergraduate concentrations and 14 graduate concentrations.[18] The university, at any given time, has close to 11,000 undergraduate students and 500 graduate students.
Eau Claire's academic programs operate on a semester calendar. Classes operating on a Monday/Wednsday/Friday schedule have approximately 43 meetings in a given semester while courses meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays meet 29 times during a given semester. Undergraduates typically take three to four courses each semester.[19]
Eau Claire students are encouraged to engage in faculty/student research. The Center of Excellence for Faculty and Undergraduate Student Research Collaboration was established at UW-Eau Claire to encourage students to incorporate "research into their undergraduate experience."[20] Eau Claire's faculty/student research program has been nationally recognized. Students working with faculty frequently publish papers in leading academic journals.[21]
All students are required to show competency in mathmatics, English, a foreign language and foreign cultures. Courses that deal with issues relating to diversity are also required.[22] All students are also required to take a "service-learning" course where they engage in some kind of charitable work with the Eau Claire community. Service-learning "is intended to provide students with an opportunity to serve their community, apply knowledge gained in the classroom, enhance their critical thinking skills, and become informed, ethical, responsible, and active citizens."[23]
A minimum of 120 credits are required for graduation. Of those credits, 39 must be taken in upper level courses. As a general rule, students are not allowed to graduate if they drop below a 2.0 GPA. However, certain programs within the university require a higher grade point average to graduate.
To be eligible for the university's honors program, students must have a 28 on the ACT and a high school class rank in the top 5 percent or have a 29 on the ACT and rank in the top 10 percent or have a 30 or higher on the ACT and graduate in the top 15 percent.[24]
To graduate with Latin honors students must achieve a 3.2 GPA for Cum Laude, a 3.5 GPA for Magna Cum Laude, and a 3.8 GPA for Summa Cum Laude.[25]

[edit] Controversies
- UW–Eau Claire was the center of a controversy related to an oak tree sacred to Native Americans. The tree, officially known as the Council Oak, was the symbol of the UW–Eau Claire campus (found on the university's seal) and the meeting place for many Native American tribes negotiating truces. Although the original Council Oak had died years earlier, a second tree was planted at the site of the original "Council Oak." The plan to build a new student center put this oak tree in danger and many Native American groups in conjunction with some students protested the new plan, while others supported building the new center despite the risk to the tree. Eventually, after much publicity, it was decided to scrap the old plans, despite the large added expense, and build the 48.8 million dollar building at another location.[45]
- The university was the center of a debate on academic freedom after officials denied a dorm leader the right to direct a Bible study in his dormitory. Officials said that it was inappropriate for a dormitory leader to have a Bible study because it might make non-Christian students uncomfortable. The student then sued the university and was eventually successful in ending the policy. This debate was widely publicized in part because the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education was deeply involved in the case.[46]
- The university was involved in a gay rights controversy when Tom Hilton, a professor in the communications department, negatively responded to a student email asking for his support for the Eau Queer Film Festival. Hilton called homosexuals the "walking wounded" and said that they needed to be helped to recover. The email ignited a "furor" at the school. Eventually, Hilton apologized for sending the message. Administrative action was taken, but Hilton was not fired.[47]
[edit] Athletics
The university's athletic teams participate in the NCAA Division III sports progam as well as the WIAC Intercollegiate Conference. There are nine men's varsity sports programs (basketball, cross country, football, golf, ice hockey, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and wrestling) and eleven women's sports programs (basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball). In terms of total wins, the Blugolds rank 14th in the entire NCAA Division III sports program.
[edit] Accomplishments
The Blugolds have been national champions in cross country (1984, 2009), softball (2008), golf (2001), swimming (1983, 1987, 1988), and ice hockey (1984). Blugolds have been conference champions in men's swimming 25 of past 40 years, conference champions in women's swimming 19 of past 32 years, conference champions in women's tennis 10 of the last 18 seasons, conference champions in softball seven of the last 15 seasons, conference champions in women's golf seven of the last 13 seasons, conference champions in women's soccer three of the last six seasons, and conference champions in women's volleyball three of the last five seasons. The Blugolds hold nine national titles. They hold 140 conference titles and have won 36 Academic All-American Awards.[48]
[edit] Team name and mascot
Eau Claire athletes are currently referred to as "Blugolds," a name coined to reflect the school colors, navy blue and old gold. Previous athletic team names include the Normals and the Normalites (because UWEC was founded as the Eau Claire State Normal School), the Blue and Gold Warriors, the Blue and Gold Gridirons, the Zornmen (in honor of Willis L. "Bill" Zorn, basketball and football coach from 1928–1968), the Golden Zornadoes, the Blue and Gold Squad, and the Blugold Squad.
The University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire currently has no mascot. However, it has been rumored that the mascot used to be the "Bulldogs," an anagram of Blugolds. There is no evidence in the Periscope yearbooks of a bulldog mascot prior to 1940. Further research may uncover some evidence of the reported "Eau Claire Bulldogs." The possibility of creating an official mascot is often discussed at the university. As of yet, no consensus has been reached.
[edit] Marching band
The UW–Eau Claire Blugold Marching Band (BMB) is the largest D3 college marching band in the country and remains one of the most active marching bands in the midwest. The BMB has grown from 60 members in fall 2000 to 300 members in 2011. The BMB has performed in multiple exhibitions including a performance at two NFL halftime shows - a Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings game and a Minnesota Vikings-Miami Dolphins game. The BMB has also toured Europe where they performed in Italy and France.
