University of Wisconsin at Madison is one of the country's best state schools. The various other campuses (Whitewater, Stout, Green Bay) all tend to be Master's Level Tier 1 schools and highly thought of for various specialties. University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee is a National University but is only Tier 3. Despite its size, it's viewed somewhat as a weak cousin to Madison. But I'd tread carefully with their online offerings. Some are long-established like Whitewater's BBA and MBA programs while others are newer and more risky. Here's a good example: http://sustain.wisconsin.edu/ Looks great, right? Check out that small print at the bottom of the page: Healthy Environment, Strong Profitability, Vital Communities UW-Parkside, UW-River Falls, UW-Stout and UW-Superior are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association. The Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Management is seeking HLC approval as a collaborative online degree program. To me, this is a slight bit irresponsible for the UW system. I have no doubt they'll achieve accreditation for this but the risk remains and they're not exactly proclaiming this as risky as it really is. UW has a great system overall but just make sure you read the fine print and you'll be fine.
