River Falls (population 12,500) is located in the scenic St. Croix Valley along the west-central Wisconsin border. The campus is just 30 miles east of the Twin Cities, St. Paul/Minneapolis. UW-River Falls provides the advantages of a small town environment with access to the cultural and educational opportunities of a metropolitan area. At 6,900 students, UW-River Falls is large enough to provide you with a variety of academic programs, study-abroad, internship and extracurricular opportunities, yet small enough that your average class sizes will range from 25-35 students.
