University of Wisconsin–Platteville Baraboo Sauk County

The university opened in the fall of 1968, as a freshman-sophomore campus as part of the University of Wisconsin Colleges system. The university is jointly owned by the UW system, Sauk County, and City of Baraboo. Circa the mid-to-late 20th century West Baraboo did not financially contribute to UW–Baraboo. A new science building was built in 2015, named in honor of former dean Thomas C. Pleger. In 2017 the six tennis courts of Baraboo High were in disrepair because of soil conditions, with two of the courts severely damaged. At that time the district was discussing with UW–Baraboo the possibility of having new tennis courts built on the college property with the district sharing the courts; the college would have eight courts, with the district building four of them. Prior to July 1, 2018, UW–Baraboo/Sauk County was one of 13 freshman-sophomore liberal arts transfer campuses of the UW Colleges, and offers a general education associate degree. After beginning their studies at UW–Platteville Baraboo Sauk County, students transfer to other UW System institutions as well as to colleges and universities throughout the country to complete their bachelor's degrees. In 2013, the college had an average class size of 22.5 students. On July 1, 2018, the campus formally merged with UW–Platteville, a four-year comprehensive university that is part of the University of Wisconsin System. At that time it received its current name. ==Campus==

The campus opened in 1968 with three buildings–a classroom building, student center, and library. The classroom building, now known as the Aural M. Umhoefer building, includes a large lecture hall alongside several smaller classrooms. It was named after former dean Aural Umhoefer. The Lange Center houses athletic facilities, including a gymnasium, racquetball courts, fitness center, weight room, dance studio, and locker rooms. It also houses a cafeteria, student services, and an art gallery. The fine arts building houses an art studio, classroom, and theater. It is adjacent to the James and Kathryn Hill Music Center, which includes a rehearsal hall and music practice rooms. The campus is adjacent to Baraboo High School, Jack Young Middle School, and Gordon K. Willson Elementary School. The only passage between the City of Baraboo and UW–Platteville Baraboo Sauk County is through West Baraboo. == Academics ==

The university offers two associate degrees and one bachelor's degree in Business Management. Its Associate of Arts and Sciences degree fulfills the first two years at the Platteville campus, and generally accepted at most other universities. It offers two business degrees, one Associate of Science in Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management. The bachelor's degree is offered as a "hybrid" degree, with many of the required classes being fulfilled through the online campus of UW Platteville. == Athletics ==
