If you are looking to transfer from your current university, you’ll find a welcoming community at 51ÁÔÆæ. Here’s what you need to know to successfully transfer into one of our programs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course Study Before Transferring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We recommend that students interested Freshwater Sciences try to complete as many prerequisite courses in math, physics, and chemistry as possible before transferring to 51ÁÔÆæ. Freshwater Sciences students should also try to complete biology prerequisite courses. Note that your current institution might have slightly different course numbers or descriptions for the prerequisite courses from those offered here at 51ÁÔÆæ. This is okay! If you are transferring within the UW System, you can use Transferology<\/a> to see how courses will transfer to 51ÁÔÆæ. If you are transferring from another institution, you can use 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Transfer Equivalency Database<\/a> to see how courses will transfer to 51ÁÔÆæ.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to Get Involved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the moment you move into the dorms in late August, you\u2019re at home here at 51ÁÔÆæ! The best way to set yourself up for lasting success is to get involved, and we\u2019ve got several ways in which you can do so once you\u2019ve arrived on campus. Get involved in a student organization or participate in faculty-led undergraduate research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in the Milwaukee area, whether for New Student Orientation or otherwise, we invite you to visit the School of Freshwater Sciences building in Milwaukee’s Harbor District. Informational sessions with a tour take place weekly. Sign up for an informational session.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
