Pre-Professional Programs
Many students enroll at UW-Platteville for coursework before completing their education at another professional school or college. Pre-professional curricula for a variety of professions have been developed. A student enrolling in one of the pre-professional programs will be assigned a faculty advisor who will assist in developing course schedules and preparing for entrance into a professional school of the student’s choice. A faculty advisor has been identified as the contact person for each program listed below. Each student interested in a specific pre-professional program is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of the contact person to ensure appropriate advising. For detailed information see Pre-Professional Programs.
