The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) plans to close its Waukesha campus in 2025, citing declining enrollment, shifting demographics, and budgetary constraints as reasons for the closure. The campus closure will impact over 100 employees, requiring layoffs of staff and tenured faculty. UWM will instead shift to a university center model at Waukesha County Technical College, ending its College of General Studies and associated degree offerings at the close of the Spring 2025 semester.
