Admission for UNDERGRADUATES CURRENTLY ATTENDING UW-MADISON

If you are currently a student in the College of Engineering or in any other school or college at UW-Madison, a separate page explains how to transfer into, or change your status into, an undergraduate engineering degree program.

Admission for INCOMING NEW FRESHMEN

If you are currently a high school student, the information below is for you. Incoming new freshmen follow a two-step process for admission to UW-Madison and admission to degree-granting departments in the College of Engineering:

  1. Apply to the University of Wisconsin-Madison via the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and, on the application form, designate "Engineering" as the school/college of interest. After you are admitted to UW-Madison, your classification will be EGR (pre-departmental).

  2. Apply to a specific engineering department of interest. Most students apply to a department in the second semester of their freshman year and, if accepted, are "transferred" into that department at the start of their sophomore year.

    Follow these steps to apply to an engineering department:

    1. Maintain EGR status for at least one semester.
    2. Explore engineering opportunities at http://www.engr.wisc.edu/introengineering/.
    3. Select a degree-granting department from the list at http://studentservices.engr.wisc.edu/advising/degrees/list.html.
    4. Meet course and grade-point requirements described at http://studentservices.engr.wisc.edu/advising/internal_transfer.html.

Information concerning classes, housing, tuition, financial support, student life, visiting campus, etc. is available from the Engineering Student Services homepage and many other webpages on this website.
