Sophomore courses were added, but with the advent of the World War II, low enrollments forced the program to be curtailed.

A year later, the Sheboygan County Board approved a $1.1 million bond issue to finance the project.

The school has also continued to maintain their own public access channel since the inauguration of cable service in the Sheboygan area in 1982.

In May 2006, the campus broke ground on the new Acuity Technology Center, which will house the college's library and provide additional "smart" classrooms and meeting space.

UW-Sheboygan was the home of Wisconsin Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Jack Snyder.
