The University of Wisconsin-Superior sits on a 124-acre campus in Superior, Wisconsin, positioned at the western tip of Lake Superior near the Minnesota border and the twin port city of Duluth. Established in 1893 as a teacher training institution, UW-Superior now operates as a public liberal arts college within the University of Wisconsin System, serving both residential and commuter students. The campus features a mix of historic and modern buildings, including the Jim Dan Hill Library and the Yellowjacket Union, which serves as the center of student life. UW-Superior maintains a focus on transportation and logistics studies through its Transportation and Logistics Research Center, while also offering recognized programs in teacher education, natural sciences, and business. Students can choose from traditional residence halls or apartment-style campus housing, and the university competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Yellowjackets.
