Admissions Requirements
The Transfer Admission Requirements state that you are likely to be admitted in good standing if you have a cumulative grade
point average of 2.5 or greater. A comprehensive review is completed and everything, including your applicant statement, is taken
into consideration when a decision is made. Students transferring having already earned their associate degree with a minimum 2.0‐
2.5 cumulative GPA may be considered for admission on a probationary basis.
UW Stout Graduation Requirements
All students graduating from UW‐Stout must also meet Racial and Ethnic Studies as well as Global Perspective requirements.
Students transferring from one of the UW Colleges having already earned their Associate of Arts & Sciences degree have these two
categories automatically met. Students that have not completed their degree at the time they transfer will have to meet the
requirements for the Racial & Ethnic Studies and Global Perspective areas identified below. UW‐Stout courses that meet these
requirements are listed in the UW‐Stout General Education Requirements (choose GE/RES/GLP course list [PDF]) approved listings
on page 7‐9. Students are encouraged to meet these requirements with courses that also apply to either general education or major
requirements. Potentially a single course could apply to 2‐3 program requirements.
Racial & Ethnic Studies (RES): Six credits are required with a minimum of three credits from the Category RES‐A course list. The
remaining three credits may be from either the RES‐A or RES‐B course list. At the UW Colleges courses that may meet some of these
requirements are listed with the ES (Ethnic Studies) designation. Courses that may apply to this requirement are courses that
transfer as equivalencies to courses listed in the UW‐Stout General Education Requirements (choose GE/RES/GLP course list [PDF])
approved listings on page 7.
Global Perspective (GLP): Completed by either completing a program of university‐approved work or study abroad, or completing
six credits of courses approved as fulfilling the global perspective requirement. Courses that may apply to this requirement are
courses that transfer as equivalencies to courses listed in the UW‐Stout General Education Requirements (choose GE/RES/GLP
course list [PDF]) approved listings on page 8‐9.
General Education Requirements begin on page 2.
