About WSU
Founded in 1858, Winona State offers a breadth of learning opportunities outside its classrooms, hosting national-caliber festivals and presenters that draw arts enthusiasts and lifelong learners from Southeastern Minnesota and beyond.
The university’s mission is to enhance the intellectual, social, cultural and economic vitality of the people and communities we serve: a community of learners improving our world.
WSU is noted as being one of the earliest universities in the country to offer a "Laptop University" program, now known as the e-Warrior Digital Life and Learning Program. In this program each student, upon acceptance, is required to lease his or her choice of either an Apple Macintosh or Microsoft Windows based laptop directly from the university. The purpose of this program is to increase the bond between education and technology.
Each student attending Winona State University pays a .43 cent per credit fee to fund the Minnesota State University Student Association, a student-led non-profit that advocates on behalf of all Minnesota state university students.
