Health Promotion/Wellness 110, 210 and 290 are only offered at UWSP.
Due to sequencing (and the requirement that these courses must be
completed prior to applying for full admission to the major), transfer
students can expect to spend at least 5 semesters at UWSP.
To be admitted to the Health Promotion/Wellness program as a premajor, students must achieve and maintain a 2.75 cumulative GPA.
To be fully admitted to the major, students must complete an application
process after transferring to UWSP and completing the requisite
courses. Thirty students are admitted each semester.

The combination of both NATSCI 125 & 126 taken at Western Technical
College, will satisfy the combination of BIOL 385 & 387 at UWSP and will
apply toward the Natural Sciences General Education requirement. Taken alone,
these courses do not fulfill the requirement and will count as electives.

(GEP) requirements, use the Transfer Information System
