Advisers who help BUILD YOUR DEGREE into a career
School of Health Sciences and Wellness majors are encouraged to meet with our advising staff to develop plans to meet their educational, career and life goals. Our advisers assist students with major-specific questions, transferring from other schools to UWSP, planning for study abroad, career development, preparing for graduate school, navigating application processes, scholarships, major maps and personalized graduation plans.

Navigate Your Major
Major Maps
Major Maps help students map their first day to the first job in their chosen field. While a four-year plan outlines classes to get a degree, Major Maps help students learn how to build career-ready skills and experiences outside the classroom. Each Major Map shows how students can get the most of their UW-Stevens Point journey from enrollment to graduation and beyond. It’s a roadmap to discovering your purpose!

Student Success Center
It’s our mission to support the whole student, honoring individual experiences and getting each person access to tools and resources that will help them achieve their goals. If you have ever struggled to get going on an assignment, have ever been challenged to set goals, felt overwhelmed, or as felt as though you were imposter in your own major, then this an invitation from us to you. We understand the inherent challenges of being a college student and we know that with supports and connection, you can make your college experience one that is full of opportunity and growth. Listen in as we talk to campus and community experts and students about their strategies for success.
