From the Chancellor Dear Student, Welcome to the University of Wisconsin Centers! You may be a begin­ ning college student, a returning adult student or transfering from another college. I congratulate you on your choice to begin your journey toward a college degree at one of the Centers' thirteen campuses across the state. On each campus the faculty and staff will serve as your guides, your advisors, your friends and teachers. Because our campuses and class­ rooms are small, you will have many opportunities to work directly with faculty members who share a commitment to teaching excellence. You will be challenged to always do your best, but you will have all of our support on your road to success. You will also have opportunities to take part in varying student activities of your choice. You may decide to become involved through a campus newspaper, athletics, student governance, or the performing arts. Be­ cause we are closely linked to the communities in which we are located, you may see many of your friends and neighbors at campus events. Your success is important to us, and the book you are now reading is an element of that success. While you are on this educational journey, use this catalog as a map to guide you. Enjoy the trip! Sincerely, ~4~ Lee Grugel, Chancellor UW Centers Select Mission In addition to the UW System mission, the University of collectively, are the freshman-sophomore, liberal arts Wisconsin Centers has the following select mission: transfer institution of the University of Wisconsin System, entitled to offer a general education associ­ The University of Wisconsin Centers, as part of the ate degree.
