 UW-Whitewater offers opportunities for you to obtain pre-professional work in a number of fields. In some areas, such as law and medicine, you will complete the Bachelor of Arts degree or Bachelor of Science degree before being admitted to a professional school. Other pre-professional programs at UW-W provide one, two or three years of study for students who will then transfer to a professional school. While at UW-W you will be obtaining a well-rounded liberal education recommended by professional schools in addition to introductory courses in your professional area.

 If you transfer to a professional school at the conclusion of your junior year, you may have a part of your work in the professional school applied toward completion of the bachelor's degree at UW-Whitewater. Details must be worked out with the Dean of the College of Letters and Sciences prior to your junior year.

As a student in a pre-professional curriculum you will be assigned to a faculty adviser who is familiar with the requirements for admission to professional schools in your area of interest. If you have chosen a specific professional school, your adviser will help you to develop a program which meets the requirements of the institution to which you plan to apply. If you have not decided on a professional school, your adviser will help you develop a flexible program while aiding you in the search for a school to meet your needs. In Pre-Engineering, UW-W has a transfer agreement with UW-Platteville whereby students who perform satisfactorily may be automatically accepted into its Engineering program (contact a Pre-Engineering adviser for details).

 Every effort is made to assist you in your admission to the professional school of your choice; however, you should be aware that admission to some programs is extremely competitive and whether or not you are admitted will depend upon your academic record and your scores on admissions tests.

 For further information on the pre-professional curriculums available at UW-W please contact one of the advisers listed above.

INDIVIDUALIZED OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE CURRICULUM

 Individually Designed Minor. The individualized minor can help you meet educational goals which cannot be met by the conventional minor programs. You can plan your own minor consisting of courses in areas related to your goals. See Index for details and requirements.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR

LIBERAL STUDIES MAJOR

The Liberal Studies major is designed for students who want a broad liberal arts background and the flexibility to tailor their studies to their own needs, interests and career goals. The major encompasses study of a wide range of disciplines, including the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences, which enable students to develop breadth of vision, a capacity for critical thinking, and a fundamental understanding of human nature, society and values. The major also fosters development of skills and abilities employers consider most important, such as problem solving, analytical thinking, interpersonal relations and communicaitons skills, among others. Applied minors such as Professional Business Studies, Public Relations, and Legal Studies complement this major especially well.

The Liberal Studies major is particularly appropriate for non-traditional, returning and transfer students who wish to complete a degree. Every effort is made to include applicable transfer courses within the major whether they have UW-W equivalents or not, and courses scheduled to accomodate working adults.

For more information on this major, contact the Philosophy Department.

Together with the adviser you will plan the major and submit in writing to the College Committee on Individually Designed Majors for its approval a detailed outline of the major and a statement of its rationale and goals. The major must be approved, with the possibility of subsequent amendment, no later than the beginning of your junior year. Your program of study must be planned and approved in advance of admission to the major. Any changes in your major at a later date will require written permission of the Committee.

 Under either Option I or II you may count at most 40 credits from any one department for fulfillment of total degree requirements. It is a requirement that over half the credits in either option must be in courses numbered 300 or above. At least 50 percent of the credits counting toward your major requirements must be earned subsequent to your admission to the major. You may take work outside the College of Letters and Sciences but more than one-half the credits in your major must be earned in the College.

The minor should be prepared early in your college career, preferably before the second term of your junior year. Any substantial subsequent changes in your minor should be approved by your major department and the Dean.

For students not Letters and Sciences majors, the responsibility of certifying the completion of the minor on the application for diploma rests with the College of Letters and Sciences. The signature sheet for the Individualized Minor is available in the Letters and Sciences Office, Salisbury 124.
