The Univeristy of Minnesota, Waseca (UMW) was a two-year technical college specializing in agriculture and located in Waseca, Minnesota. A part of the University of Minnesota system, it operated from 1971-1992 and served nearly 20,000 students during that time. Their mascot was the ram.

Its campus was previously an agricultural boarding high school know as the Southern School of Agriculture. After the closing of UMW, part of the campus was converted into a federal correctional institution, which now houses former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling. The remainder continues to operate as the University's Southern Research and Outreach Center.
