Why choose the School of Education at UW-Stevens Point?<\/h3>
For many students, the idea of becoming a teacher is more than just a career choice\u2013it is a calling. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point was founded in 1894 as the Stevens Point Normal School, whose primary purpose was to prepare future teachers. Today, teacher preparation remains an integral part of our mission and we continue to be at the forefront of innovation in our field.<\/div>
