careers in the arts or in teaching at the elementary, secondary, or college
level. An Inter-Arts major, which prepares the student for an
interdisciplinary arts career, is also offered.
New Freshmen. New freshmen must meet the general University admission requirements (as described in the front section of this catalog) in addition to specific department requirements. Admission to all music programs requires an audition and a theory placement examination. Admission to the Professional Theatre Training Program requires an audition or a personal interview. Portfolios are not required by the Department of Visual Art. For details, please refer to the individual department sections of this catalog.
Transfer Students. Transfer students from other universities and colleges or UWM units are accepted by the School of the Arts provided they meet the UWM admissions criteria and have a 2.0 cumulative GPA (on a 4-point scale). They must also meet the specific departmental audition requirements described above. Although a portfolio is not required for acceptance into the Department of Visual Art, the submission of a portfolio is helpful in evaluating a student's work for advanced placement.
Second Bachelor's Degree Candidates. Students with good scholastic records who wish to earn a second bachelor's degree in the School of the Arts must obtain the recommendation of the School of the Arts department in which they wish to major before they can be accepted.
Upon acceptance, students must earn in residence a minimum of 30 credits beyond the studies for the first degree and must satisfy all curriculum requirements.
New Major Program. By choosing this program, students who have
completed baccalaureate degrees at UWM or other accredited institutions may
earn an additional major only. It is not necessary to complete all
requirements for an additional baccalaureate degree or to observe the
30-credit in residence regulation. At present, the Departments of Visual Art,
Dance, Film and Music offer majors through this option.
Theatre Minor. Students wishing to earn a theatre minor can do so by
completing 18 credits of theatre courses as specified under the Theatre Program
listing.
Students must earn their last 30 credits in residence at UWM. Of this total, a minimum of 15 credits must be in advanced major subjects. Under extraordinary circumstances, a student may receive permission to earn a maximum of 9 credits of the last 30 credits at another college/university but must obtain the written approval of the Administrator of Student Affairs prior to enrollment in such courses.
Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art, Dance, Music, and Theatre. Requires a total of 120 credits. To receive this degree, students must fulfill the requirements listed in Nos. 1-4 under the BFA degree below. See the individual department listings in this catalog for additional information.

To receive these degrees students must:
Post-baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program. Offered in
art, dance, music, and theatre. All applicants should consult the appropriate
department chairperson concerning requirements in these programs.
Requirements for Employment, Licensing, or Professional Organizations. Students should be aware that some professions, occupations, and employers are subject to licensing and/or bonding requirements. When a course of study includes clinical or field training, practice teaching, internships, or the like, students may be subjected to a check of criminal conviction records, prior to acceptance of a student by the placement site. Students are responsible for obtaining the information necessary for them to become knowledgeable about these requirements and plan their studies accordingly. Please contact the appropriate department or program office for further information.
Admission Requirements. All students should submit an application to the Administrator of Student Affairs and confer with the Education area head of their department.
Art education students may apply to the program upon completion of 30 credits if they have fulfilled the freshman year foundation courses in art and the requirements listed below.
Music education majors may apply upon completion of 58 credits and junior standing and the listed requirements.
Theatre teacher certification students may apply upon completion of the required 30 credit core in the major, junior standing, and the requirements listed below. In addition, theatre certification students must successfully pass an interview with theatre certification faculty.
All students must attain the following before making application to the teacher certification programs in art, music, and theatre:
Grade-point Average. 2.75.
Communication Competency. A grade of C in one of the following: Commun 101, 103 or 201.
The communicative abilities of students remain under constant review as a factor for retention in the program. Students experiencing communication difficulty may be remanded for remedial work. Students who have satisfactorily completed an interpersonal course at another college or university may request an evaluation of their communication status through the Department of Communication.
English Composition Requirement. The English Composition Requirement is satisfied by earning a grade of C or higher in English 102 or its equivalent, or by scoring 637 or better in the English Placement Test (or an appropriate score as determined by the Department of English on the English ACT examination).
Mathematical Skills Requirement. Must be demonstrated by achieving a placement code of at least 30 on the mathematics placement test, or by earning at least 3 credits with a grade of C or higher in Mathematical Sciences 105, 106, 109/175 or equivalent courses.
Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST). Must earn scores in Reading 175, Math 173, Writing 174. Registration forms are available in the School of the Arts Office of Student Affairs.
Developmental Reading Course Requirement. All teachers of special subjects, e.g., dance, music, art, theatre, wishing to be certified by the State of Wisconsin (K-12) must complete one course in developmental reading at the elementary or secondary level.
At present, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers Curriculum and Instruction 343 for those interested in the elementary level, and Curriculum and Instruction 545 for those interested in the secondary level. Only one of these 3-credit courses is necessary to fulfill the requirement. This course may be applied toward the core curriculum requirement.
Exceptional Education Requirement. Persons applying for an initial license to teach any subject in the elementary and secondary schools of Wisconsin after July 1, 1981, must have completed at least 3 credits or the equivalent study of exceptional education to be eligible for a license. See the Art, Music, or Theatre Department sections for appropriate course requirements.
Student Teaching. Eligibility for student teaching is determined by admission to the Teacher Certification Program of the School of the Arts, departmental recommendation, and completion of all prerequisite courses and any other departmental requirements.
In general, education methods courses are not transferable from other institutions. These courses must be taken in residence. Other criteria include removal of all incompletes in required courses, compliance with the Human Relations Code, satisfactory class standing, health clearance, recommendation by the department, and submission of the student teacher application.
Applications to student teach during the first semester are due March 15; during the second semester, October 15. Application blanks are available in, and must be filed with the School of the Arts Office of Student Affairs. No applications will be accepted after these dates.
Teacher's License Applications. Students eligible for graduation are not automatically recommended for certification to the State Department of Public Instruction. They must first be approved for certification by their departments.
After all requirements for the BFA or BA degree with Teacher Certification or a post-baccalaureate degree certification program are completed, and the departmental approval is obtained, a student may apply for a state teacher's license. A Wisconsin Credential Application form is available from the Certifying Officer, School of Education, UWM, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201, or from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, 126 Langdon Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53702.
The Department of Public Instruction conducts a criminal record check of
each applicant for a teaching license. Based on this information, an
applicant may be denied a license even if recommended for certification by
the University.
In most instances, after two years of basic preparatory courses in the
major, students choose an area of specialization within their respective
departments known as a sub-major. Students must declare a submajor after
they have accumulated 45 to 75 credits in order to assure completion of the
appropriate curriculum requirements for graduation.
For information on actions on unsatisfactory grades and honors for scholarship, see Academic Information ‹ University-wide Academic Action Policy, and Honors for Scholarship.
Semester Credit Load. A full-time School of the Arts student is one who takes a minimum of 12 credits per semester. Normally, School of the Arts students are not permitted to carry more than 18 credits per semester. Students who have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher may, with the permission of the School of the Arts Office of Student Affairs, carry up to 20 credits per semester.

countries under the direction and instruction of Art Department faculty
members.
In addition to the specific requirements of their majors, all School of the Arts students must fulfill the core curriculum (45 cr.) which includes competency in English composition and mathematical skills as described below.
