TRANSFER GUIDE: MADISON AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE TO
COLLEGE OF NATURAL RESOURCES UW - STEVENS POINT
The following is a list of recommended courses for students who want to begin their college career at MATC –
Madison and then transfer to the College of Natural Resources (CNR) at UWSP. NOTE: All CNR majors require
four introductory natural resource courses (Natural Resources 150, 151, 250 and 251), that may not be offered at
other schools. These four courses are prerequisites for the CNR Summer Field Experience (SFE) requirement,
which is normally taken after the sophomore year since this Experience is a prerequisite for most upper level
courses. It is recommended that you transfer to UWSP after completing one year at MATC, especially if you are
majoring in forestry, soils and water resources.
*Consult the UWSP catalog to review specific requirements for the various CNR majors.
