Information for Current UW-Madison Undergrads and Transfer Students

If you are currently an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, you must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0, complete 40 credits (excluding retroactive language and advanced placement credit) and Journalism 201 by the end of the current semester before you may apply into the program. If you are a transfer student, you are eligible to apply into the program at the conclusion of your first semester at the UW, as long as you have the other requirements met.

These requirements allow students to explore the opportunities presented by the UW-Madison before committing to a single program, and gives the School a chance to see how you perform academically in a broad selection of courses.
