MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A new Universities of Wisconsin System policy hopes to make transferring easier.
The proposed Board of Regents policy would ensure that all core general education courses can transfer between each of the thirteen UW schools. Core general education requirements would range from thirty to thirty-six credit hours in ten to twelve courses across six different categories.
A UW System press release says establishing these core courses would strengthen existing transfer pathways and reduce the time for students to earn a degree. The policy will be reviewed by the Board of Regents this fall and if approved, would go into effect for students enrolling in fall of 2026.
