Transfer & Reentry Students: We would be happy to meet with Transfer or Reentry students, once they follow the directions below:

The School of Education has a special section of our web site dedicated to transfer and reentry students. We would suggest starting there, and following the directions carefully, as soon as possible. The section on getting a credit evaluation is very important as that is what you will need to do to help determine how long it will take to pursue your teaching license. Once you have received your credit evaluation, you are invited to call and make an appointment to meet with an advisor in the School of Education.  It is important to make sure we offer the teaching major you are looking for.
The requirements to apply to our program are also available on the School of Education web site. You must be admitted to our program a semester prior to starting the upper-level education course work.

NOTE: There are additional requirements to apply for each individual major, so you will want to check out the "enrollment caps" carefully.

The web site is: http://www.uwsp.edu/education.  First choose "undergraduate" and then make sure to check out the "transfer/reentry" and "student handbook" links. These sections will direct you to such things as getting a credit evaluation, requirements to apply to our program, enrollment cap policies, curriculum planning sheets, etc.

If you are thinking about starting school within the next year, it is important to get admitted to UWSP as soon as possible: please go to apply.wisconsin.edu to get started on an electronic application.
Please call the School of Education Advising Office if you have any questions.  Our phone number is (715) 346-2040.
