The curriculum in the College of Education and Professional Studies is structured so that students move through classes in a prescribed order. Prerequisites are important and are strongly enforced. The four year plan illustrates the type of curriculum a new freshman could take to complete a degree in four years; it is not an official document. Refer to Academic Advising Report for full requirements.
Goals: Talk to your academic advisor about your interests and goals and begin to understand career options for your major. Explore student groups and organizations and join one that feels right for you. These groups offer a great way to learn more about the major and begin networking. Explore on-campus resources such as undergraduate research opportunities, the Mary Poppe Chrisman Success Center, and the Office of Global Experiences.
After your first year: Become comfortable in understanding and reading your Academic Advising Report.
Goals: Pursue a leadership position within a student organization or volunteer group. Get to know your professors, especially in your major. Start connecting what you learn in the classroom to how it will apply to your career.
After your second year: Understand your program plan and graduation requirements.
Third Year Advising Notes: To stay on track, you should complete your foundation block courses by the beginning of your third year. You should plan to apply for admission to Professional Studies at the beginning of your fifth semester, once you have completed 40 credits. Make sure you meet the basic requirements for admission by visiting our website: https://www.uww.edu/coeps/advising-licensure#admissions
A faculty member will be assigned as your advisor once you are admitted to Professional Studies. They should be used to help you determine your program plan.
Goals: Be admitted to Professional Studies. Attend the Hawk Career Fair as well as networking events and employer information meetings.
After your third year: Work with your faculty advisor to make sure you’re on track to graduate. Continue to seek major-related employment.
Courses in red require Admission to Professional Studies. You will not be allowed to register for these courses without applying, and being admitted to Professional Studies. Courses denoted with a * are only offered in the semester listed.
Fourth Year Advising Notes: Apply for graduation online through the Registrar’s Office one full semester before you anticipate graduating. Complete all required testing. Work with your program coordinator and the Office of Clinical Experiences in order to confirm your student teaching placement.
Goals: Work with the Career Service Office to perfect your resume and cover letter. Attend networking events, career fairs, and employer information meetings. Read professional journals and consider a student membership in a professional organization.
Admission to Professional Studies is required for students to take upper division courses in their educator preparation program. Eligibility requirements can be found at: http://www.uww.edu/coeps/advising-admissions/admission-to- professional-education
Students will be required to pass additional assessments prior to student teaching and licensure.
