The University of Wisconsin–Marathon County (UWMC), one of the University of Wisconsin Colleges, is a two-year campus of the University of Wisconsin System. It is located near downtown Wausau, Wisconsin, United States and adjacent to 78-acre (32 ha) Marathon Park.
UWMC's campus consists of six buildings: the main building, the fieldhouse, the ceramics/pottery building, the art building, Marathon Hall (residence hall), and the Center for Civic Engagement.
UW-Marathon County had an enrollment of 1,262 students in fall, 2014, and an average class size of 23.3 students.. UWMC is the home of the Wisconsin Public Radio Wausau Regional Studio. The dean is Keith Montgomery.
The school offers courses leading to either an associate’s degree or the Guaranteed Transfer Program, under which students are guaranteed admission to a four-year University of Wisconsin System college of their choice if they meet the academic requirements. UW-Marathon County also has a collaborative program with UW-Stevens Point and UW–Oshkosh that allows students to be dually enrolled in both colleges, and to take select courses from those colleges on the UW-Marathon County campus, to earn bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration, General Studies, Web and Digital Media Development, and Nursing. UWMC also has an agreement with neighboring Northcentral Technical College (NTC) whereby a student can earn a one-year, 30- to 32-credit general studies certificate at NTC then transfer to UWMC to complete the Associate of Arts and Sciences degree.
The University of Wisconsin–Marathon County sponsors teams in golf, basketball, volleyball, and soccer. UWMC has a pool, a weight room, an open gym, and a racquetball court in the field house. The school mascot is the Husky.
