UW-Milwaukee - College of Letters and Science

First college course in a degree program was between Fall 1998 and Summer 2006

Students who began their undergraduate degree program between Fall 1998 and Summer 2006 may follow the Fall 1998 degree requirements, the Fall 2006 degree requirements, or the Fall 2008 degree requirements.

Discussion

Almost all students are better off under the Fall 2006 degree requirements.

The Fall 2006 requirements provide more latitude in satisfying both the 36 credit breadth requirements and the 9 credit international requirement than the Fall 1998 degree requirements. The Fall 2006 requirements provide more latitude in satisfying the 9 credit international requirement than the Fall 2008 degree requirements and the Language requirement for the Bachelor of Arts may require more coursework in the Fall 2008 degree requirements. Most other degree requirements are the same between the three sets of degree requirements.

Students who might find the Fall 1998 degree requirements a better option are students who...

  • have previously completed the Fall 1998 capstone requirement and would need to take a new course for the Fall 2006 research requirement - especially if they have already completed a seminar (see http://www.uwm.edu/letsci/requirements/old/seminar.html)
  • have military science credits, or
  • are completing a BS degree and have credit in either Phil 211 or Math 225.

Students should consult their L&S academic advisor to map out their degree requirements and select which set works best for them. The advisor's name is available on each student's PAWS account.
