About
The University of Wisconsin–Platteville Baraboo Sauk County (UW-Baraboo or Boo-U) was a branch campus of the University of Wisconsin–Platteville, located in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Founded in 1968, it was known as University of Wisconsin–Baraboo/Sauk County and was a part of the University of Wisconsin Colleges. It joined UW-Platteville in 2018 as a branch campus following dissolution of the UW-Colleges system. The university offered two associate degrees and a bachelor's degree entirely on campus, while students had the option of changing campuses to Platteville main or online for additional degree programs.
The 68-acre (28 ha) campus overlooks the Baraboo bluffs and is intersected by the Ice Age Trail. Six buildings comprised the campus, including student dorms, a student union, a library, and classroom buildings. The university was originally built with three buildings and has expanded over the years, including its most recent building in 2015.
Originally designed for 300 students, the campus saw increasing enrollment through 2000, peaking at 758. However, there were only 178 undergraduates in 2024.
The campus held its final classes in May 2026.
