Submit the UW System application, available online at: https://apply.wisconsin.edu. Send official transcripts from all post‐secondary institutions attended. Send official high school transcripts if you have not already earned your bachelor’s degree at the time you apply.

Admissions Requirements The Transfer Admission Requirements state that are you are likely to be admitted in good standing if you have a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or greater. A comprehensive review is completed and everything, including your applicant statement, is taken into consideration when a decision is made. Students indicating XXX Education will be admitted as a pre‐education major at UW‐Stout. "Pre‐Education" is the initial designation for all students interested in being a certified teacher through one of our education majors. Subsequent acceptance into a teacher education major and enrollment in professional education coursework will require successful completion of Benchmark I requirements. Additional information can be found at http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/current/praxisi.cfm UW Stout Graduation Requirements All students graduating from UW‐Stout must also meet Racial and Ethnic Studies as well as Global Perspective requirements.
