University of Wisconsin-Stout
Menomonie, WI
Figures on this page come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data. This school has not been individually reviewed, so there is no ranking, aid-policy, or GPA guidance below.
What it may cost by family income
Estimated average net price — what families actually pay after grants and scholarships — by annual household income. Net price matters far more than the $31,361 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.
| Household income | Est. net price / year |
|---|---|
| Under $30k | $10,966 |
| $30k–$48k | $12,229 |
| $48k–$75k | $13,164 |
| $75k–$110k | $19,528 |
| Over $110k | $22,028 |
Sticker cost of attendance: $31,361 (out-of-state) · $22,797 in-state.
What the whole degree costs
Every cost figure above is one year. A bachelor's degree is four — sometimes five. Today's-prices makes no assumptions; the second column assumes prices rise ~3.5% a year, in line with recent averages.
| Household income | 4 yrs, today's prices | 4 yrs with increases |
|---|---|---|
| Under $30k | $43,864 | $46,221 |
| $30k–$48k | $48,916 | $51,545 |
| $48k–$75k | $52,656 | $55,486 |
| $75k–$110k | $78,112 | $82,309 |
| Over $110k | $88,112 | $92,847 |
55% of students here graduate within six years. If the degree takes a fifth year, budget roughly one more year at the prices above — ask the school what share of students finish in four.
First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask University of Wisconsin-Stout how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.
Applying to a specific major at University of Wisconsin-Stout
88% is the acceptance rate for the whole university — not for every major. For the programs below, admission is usually decided separately and is harder than that number suggests. Almost no university publishes a by-major admission rate, and neither does the federal government, so we do not show one: any site that does is estimating.
To find the real figure for your major, check University of Wisconsin-Stout's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.
At University of Wisconsin-Stout: 191 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $40,647 median earnings (Computer Software and Media Applications.)
Applicant demand has grown far faster than faculty and seats, so many universities cap CS enrollment, admit to it directly, or require a competitive internal application after enrolling.
Check: Whether the school admits to CS directly, and whether switching into CS later is restricted — the answer changes your real odds more than your test scores do.
At University of Wisconsin-Stout: 40 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $58,673 median earnings (Engineering Technologies/Technicians, General.)
Most engineering colleges admit students directly into the college rather than the university at large, and review them against a separate, usually more selective pool.
Check: Whether you apply to the engineering college directly, and what happens if you are not admitted — some schools offer general admission with a later transfer path, others do not.
At University of Wisconsin-Stout: 280 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $46,708 median earnings (Business Administration, Management and Operations.)
Many undergraduate business schools admit their own cohort at application time and are more selective than the university overall; others admit only after two years of coursework.
Check: Whether the business school is direct-admit for first-years, and if not, what GPA the internal application actually requires.
At University of Wisconsin-Stout: 146 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $36,717 median earnings (Design and Applied Arts.)
Admission usually turns on an audition or portfolio judged by the department, which can outweigh grades and test scores in either direction.
Check: Audition/portfolio dates and prescreen requirements — many fall well before the regular application deadline.
Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at University of Wisconsin-Stout in nursing or architecture, so those are not listed above. Small or new programs can be missing from federal reporting — confirm with the school before ruling one out.
