Nor does anyone in his right mind expect such magic, since we human beings are at once the most complex, the most unpredictable, the most dangerous and also the most splendid organisms in the universe. What is more reasonable to expect of us, however, is that we shall embrace all our students at whatever stage of their development as they move toward maturity and immerse them in the past, the present and the future, teaching them at once a decent regard for mankind's noblest antecedents, the value of a persistent probing of the current state of our affairs, and a constructive view of ages to come. In all these efforts, we shall attempt also to polish those social, political and economic skills which have always distinguished civilized men and women from their savage contemporaries. This is not an easy task. Indeed it is, apart from parenthood, the most difficult in society. It requires, above all, men and women who are determined to make the best of their opportunities. We must presume that this is the chief reason you are here. On that basis we extend you the most cordial welcome and the sincere wish that together we can assist you in achieving your aims. T. N. Savides Dean INTRODUCTION The University of Wisconsin Center-Baraboo/Sauk County was founded in 1968 to help fulfill the concept that resources of higher education should be distributed throughout the state, within reasonable access to all citizens regardless of their economic status or the location of their homes. One of 14 campuses of the UW Center System, it offers a wide variety of freshman­ sophomore liberal arts and pre-professional courses, as well as an extensive array of adult and special education programs. All programs are geared to the usual university academic standards, offering University of Wisconsin credits transferable to colleges and universities throughout the country. The Baraboo Center has developed an academic character distinctly its own, while holding its commitment to assuring the fullest development of each student's academic potential, cultural and human sensitivity, and social usefulness. Many course options are provided to ensure that citizens are able to secure the educational tools necessary to realize their goals. A small campus environment enhances the social and academic growth of students by encouraging close student-faculty relationships and providing a natural setting for inter-disciplinary cooperation among faculty. High personal and academic standards govern the selection of faculty who consistently possess the traits of proficiency, professionalism and dedication to public service. Through creative use of the most modern teaching equipment the faculty is able to personalize teaching and learning to a degree rarely possible in higher education institutions. Involvement in special field and service projects is also an important aspect of Baraboo campus life. Work with the disadvantaged, musical and theatrical productions, continuing education, student government and publications are a few of the creative outlets available. Because of its size, location, facilities and service orientation, UWC­ Baraboo is making life-long education possible for older Wisconsin residents as well as youth, encouraging the pursuit of special interests and study for self-enrichment, in addition to its major task of providing programs for degree credit. FACILITIES I UWC-Baraboo/Sauk County is located on a scenic 64-acre site overlooking the City of Baraboo and the Baraboo Bluffs. The campus features three modern, well-equipped buildings. Library-Learning Resource Center Considered one of the most advanced in the state, the Resource Center is equipped with 27,000 volumes of books, 376 periodical subscriptions, 2750 reels of microfilm, 4000 phonograph records, 940 audio tapes, 236 films, 50 video-tapes, 7000 slides and 150 teaching machine programs. The wide assortment of audio-visual materials and equipment aids students in independent study and allows modern teaching methods to reach beyond the confines of the textbook and lecture hall. New and imaginative ways are utilized to define and relate ideas helping to make the classroom experience flexible and relevant. The campus library is open to community residents as well as students at no charge. Administration and Classroom Building Classrooms and the administration and faculty offices are located on the main floor of the split-level Administration and Classroom Building. Well equipped science laboratories and an adjoining greenhouse provide modern teaching facilities and instrumental equipment for the study of chemistry, physics, biology and geology. Meetings, seminars and classes with special equipment needs are regularly held in the large, descending lecture hall located in the lower-level of the building. The building also houses a spacious art studio with an adjoining outdoor exhibit and sketching patio. Photography darkrooms are available for student and faculty use. Collections of paintings, photographs, sculpture and other pieces of art work are continually displayed. Student Center Many student activities are focused in the Student Center, which contains the student newspaper and government offices, as well as an ample recreation area. A new cafeteria also serves as a place for students and staff to congregate. Campus music, drama and fine arts presentations are held in the 272-seat theater equipped with fine technical facilities which provide exceptional theatrical effects. The Office of Student Affairs is also located in the Student Center and handles matters concerned with recruitment, admissions, financial aids, placement testing, veterans affairs, survivors and social security benefits. Career counseling, academic advising and personal counseling are available, as well as special tutoring and remedial study opportunities. No Resident living facilities Since most UWC-Baraboo students commute to classes, the campus does not offer dormitory facilities. However, in addition to the availability of rooms in private homes, a new 20-unit apartment complex under private ownership is located just one block west of the campus. This facility provides two-person apartments, full laundry facilities and maid service for $12.50 per week. Questions concerning rental should be directed to John Probert, Campus Motel, Hwy. 12, Baraboo. CURRICULUM The Baraboo Center shares the high quality education identified with the University of Wisconsin and offers freshman-sophomore courses comparable to courses offered on any UW campus. A number of special programs provide additional opportunities for academic exploration. Under the credit-no credit option, for example, a student may elect courses outside his major field of study without the usual concern for grades. Many departments of study also offer credit for independent study on selected topics. After 60 credits of study at the Baraboo Center, students may receive the 1· Associate Degree. While some students seek immediate employment, others go on to four year institutions to complete requirements for baccalaureate degrees. Many students prepare for admission to various professional programs. These include: Agriculture and Engineering Physical- Natural Resources Family resources Occupational Therapy Art Medical Technology Pre-Dentistry Architecture Music Pre-Law Business Nursing Pre-Medicine Education Pharmacy Social Work The basic freshman-sophomore curriculum for most fields of study is offered.
