Agreement for an Intercollegiate Dual Degree Program
between
University of Wisconsin-Stout
and
University of Wisconsin La Crosse

This document states the terms of an agreement between the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Beginning with the first semester of the 2018-19 school year, a dual program leading to a bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a bachelor's degree in a branch of engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Stout was available to qualified students. This is an updated version of that agreement. This dual degree program requires completion of appropriate coursework at both the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (typically 3 academic years or roughly 90 credits) and the University of Wisconsin - Stout (typically 2 academic years or roughly 60 credits dependent on engineering program). Students transferring to the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse are eligible to participate. Transfer credits accepted by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse count towards the physics degree. To be awarded a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stout a minimum of 32 credits must be earned in residence.

University of Wisconsin-La Crosse students will be selected for entrance into the University of Wisconsin-Stout College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management based on the calculation of a cumulative grade point averaging using all grades and upon the positive recommendation of the Chair of the Department of Physics (or designee) at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The minimum cumulative grade point average for admission will be 2.0 however, as part of ABET accreditation, a grade of B or higher is required in Calculus 1 or a 2.0 average across Calculus 1, Calculus 2, College Chemistry l is required. Students not meeting those requirements are admitted as pre-engineering until said requirements are met when the 'pre' designation will be dropped.

In the first three years of work taken at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, students must complete appropriate courses in chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics for the sought-after degrees at both schools. The College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management will work with the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse advisors to recommend appropriate courses. Attendance during the summer or winterm at the University of Wisconsin-Stout may be recommended in some cases to reduce credit load during the fall and spring semesters.

Dual degree students should also take general education courses to meet the graduation requirements at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Dual degree students will then "automatically" meet the general education requirements for the University of Wisconsin-Stout except for the specifically required general education course, ETECH 100 Impacts of Engineering - 3 credits. This is identified in table 2. UW-Stout's graduation requirements of Racial & Ethnic Studies and Global Perspective are also met with completion of the UWL degree.

Courses passed with a D or better will be transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Stout as credit for equivalent courses, even though they may not be required in the engineering curriculum selected by the student.

During the period at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, students will complete the requirements specified in the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management bulletin at the time of admission to their engineering degree programs. The coursework passed with a D or better at the University of Wisconsin-Stout will also be transferred to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse to complete the requirements for the selected degree.

When transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Stout from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse the student is expected to submit application for admission to include the application fee, high school transcripts, and official transcripts from all institutions of higher education attended.

Changes in curricula, at both institutions, will be accommodated as they occur. Students will be eligible to participate in commencement ceremonies at both the University of Wisconsin-Stout and University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

The University of Wisconsin-Stout College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management commits to report on a regular basis the performance of dual degree students currently enrolled. This will be sent to the Chair of the Physics Department at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Recruitment of students for this program will be the responsibility of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, with the cooperation of the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

This agreement constitutes a declaration of intent and is subject to renegotiation as conditions change and experience dictates. This agreement will be reviewed by both parties six months prior to five years after signing of the agreement. This agreement may also be reviewed, and changes made if there are curriculum changes in programs at either institution.

Agreement for an Intercollegiate Dual Degree Program Between University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering and University of Wisconsin-La Crosse

This document states the terms of an agreement between the College of Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison (CoE) and University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UW-La Crosse).

Beginning with the fall semester of the 2018-2019 academic year, a dual degree program leading to a baccalaureate (BS) degree in physics or mathematics or chemistry or computer science from UW-La Crosse and a BS degree in a branch of engineering from CoE will be available to eligible students. This dual degree program will require approximately three years of attendance at UW-La Crosse followed by approximately two years of attendance at the CoE.

Eligible dual degree candidates include Wisconsin residents who first enrolled at UW-La Crosse as freshmen. Eligible dual degree candidates do not include students who entered UW-La Crosse as transfer students or those who have since transferred from UW-La Crosse to another institution.

Eligible dual degree candidates will be exempt from the 80 credit limit, which states that students who have earned more than 80 semesters credits at the time of application are not eligible to apply for transfer admission to the CoE. The College of Engineering's undergraduate programs do not accept second degree candidates under any circumstances, so dual degree candidates are not eligible to pursue an undergraduate degree in the CoE after completing all degree requirements at any other institution.

Eligible students who express interest in the dual degree program may apply for entrance into the CoE portion of the program a maximum of two times. Dual degree candidates must meet UW-Madison's minimum requirements for admission consideration, including successful completion of two units of a single foreign language; complete Communication Part A; and earn direct equivalents to meet current General College Requirements and College of Engineering degree requirements: MATH 221-222, CHEM 103-104 or CHEM 109, PHYSICS 201/207 or EMA 201. At UW-La Crosse, students must meet or exceed the Core GPA (comprised of physics, mathematics, computer science, and chemistry coursework required by the CoE program) and Overall GPA Benchmarks for Progression that are effective at the time of their application, as listed on the College of Engineering website. The application requires the positive recommendation of the chair of the respective UW-La Crosse department (Physics, Mathematics & Statistics, Chemistry & Biochemistry, or Computer Science), or designee, attesting to their ability to finish the program at CoE.

Admission to the CoE is very competitive and selective, especially to engineering programs with high student demand and limited capacity. Admission to the CoE is not guaranteed. Qualified dual degree applicants will be considered for admission to their intended engineering program by the UW-Madison Office of Admissions and Recruitment in a comprehensive and holistic review process. Dual degree candidates who are not selected for admission to their first choice major in the CoE will not be offered a second choice option in the CoE. The Office of Admissions may consider these students for admission to the second choice major outside of the College of Engineering that they had indicated on their application for transfer admission to UW-Madison. However, accepting admission to a major outside of the CoE will void the dual degree agreement.

In the initial years of work taken at UW-La Crosse, students must complete appropriate courses in chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics for the intended degrees at both schools. Students must complete a minimum of 80 semester credits, major requirements, and courses that count towards the UW-La Crosse general education requirements. Students will be advised of UW-Madison's liberal studies requirements as they choose general education courses at UW-La Crosse. Credit, but not grades, for these courses passed with a grade of C or better, will be transferred to the UW-Madison transcript as credit for appropriate courses, even though they may not be required by the CoE engineering curriculum selected by the student.

During the years spent at CoE, students will complete the requirements specified by the curriculum effective at the time of their admission to their engineering degree program. The CoE automatically graduates students when they finish degree requirements. The coursework completed at CoE will be transferred to UW-La Crosse and applied to the requirements for the UW-La Crosse Bachelor of Science degree in one of these majors: physics, mathematics, chemistry, or computer science, and UW-La Crosse will waive the 24 credit senior residency rule.

Changes in curricula, at both institutions, will be addressed as they occur. Students will be eligible to participate in commencement ceremonies at both UW-Madison and UW-La Crosse. Students must graduate from both institutions concurrently. It is their responsibility to notify the Registrar of UW-La Crosse of their intent to graduate and to supply them with an official copy of their UW-Madison transcript.

Students are subject to the UW System Excess Credit Policy. This would likely be assessed by UW-Madison, as the students will most likely be attending UW-Madison at the time excess credits are taken, if applicable.

When transferring to UW-Madison from UW-La Crosse, the student will be expected to follow standard UW-Madison procedures to submit applications for admission, housing, and financial aid. These applications and materials must be submitted in accordance with published deadlines.

Recruitment of students for this program will be the responsibility of UW-La Crosse with the cooperation of the CoE.

This agreement constitutes a declaration of intent and is subject to renegotiation as conditions change and experience dictates. The dual degree agreement will be automatically deactivated if no students transfer from UW-La Crosse to the UW-Madison College of Engineering within 10 years.

This document states the terms of an agreement between the College of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Beginning with the first semester of the 1994-95 school year, a dual degree program leading to a BS degree in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a BS degree in a branch of engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, will be available to qualified students. This dual degree program will require approximately three years of attendance at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse followed by approximately two years of attendance at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus.

Students who express interest in the dual degree program will be selected for entrance into the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee portion of the program based on a minimum B (3.00) average in all course work; a minimum B (3.00) average in the chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics course work required by the program; and the positive recommendation of the Chair of the Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin La Crosse, (or designee). Qualified La Crosse applicants are assured admission in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at Milwaukee.

In the first three years of work taken through the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, students must complete a minimum of 88 hours. Courses must be successfully completed in each of the following areas: mathematics (calculus through differential equations), physics to satisfy the La Crosse major requirements, chemistry (through quantitative analysis), and the La Crosse General Education requirements. Credit, but not grades, for these courses, passed with a grade of C or better, will be transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee transcript as credit for equivalent Milwaukee courses, even though they may not be required by the Milwaukee engineering curriculum selected by the student. Students who satisfy the General Education requirements at La Crosse will automatically satisfy the l\tlilwaukee General Education requirements except for English composition. The dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science at UW-Milwaukee reserves the right to waive the English composition requirement for qualified students.

During the years at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students will complete the requirements specified in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Undergraduate Bulletin at the time of admission to their engineering degree programs. The course work at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will also be transferred to University of Wisconsin-La Crosse to complete the requirements for the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse BS in Physics.

Changes in curricula, at both institutions, will be accommodated as they occur. Students will be eligible to participate in commencement ceremonies at both the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Students must apply to the appropriate financial aid office when seeking financial assistance. The La Crosse aid office will assist the students through the transition by forwarding full financial aid transcripts and other relevant documents to Milwaukee.

When transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee from the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, the student will be expected to submit applications for admission, for housing, and for financial aid on standard forms provided by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. These forms must be submitted in accord with the deadlines published in the then current University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee documents.

Recruitment of students for this program will be the responsibility of University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, with the cooperation of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

This agreement constitutes a declaration of intent and is subject to renegotiation as conditions change and experience dictates.
