Undergraduate programs by type

To view a combined list of all undergraduate and graduate programs at UWL, view the majors, minors, and other programs page.

Undergraduate degree-seeking students must select a major as their main course of study. Students may also complete major requirements for one or more additional majors, depending on the program and their individual situation. Select a college or school below to view the majors that belong to that college/school.

Accelerated Graduate Programs:

Accelerated graduate programs allow students to earn an undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Science) and graduate degree (either masters or doctorate) in a shorter period of time by counting certain required courses toward both degrees. The undergraduate portion of the accelerated graduate program is usually considered the undergraduate student's primary major.

Minor-to-Master's Degree Pathways:

Minor-to-master pathways provide undergraduate students the opportunity to earn graduate credit that will count towards a graduate program at UWL, which saves them time in earning the graduate degree. Students opting to complete a minor-to-master's pathway must still select a primary undergraduate major.

Dual degree programs allow students to earn two Bachelor of Science degrees in a shorter period of time by counting certain required courses toward both degrees. The student completes about three years at UWL, transfers certain credits needed to the second school in the program, and finishes another two years at that school. The student then transfers the courses taken from the other school back to UWL and earns a Bachelor of Science degree from each school if all requirements have been satisfied.

A minor is a secondary area of study with fewer requirements than a major, but which cannot be completed without a major unless the student has already earned a baccalaureate degree. A minor's area of study may complement the major or simply be a subject the student finds interesting. Students may be required to complete one or more minors, depending on which college their primary major resides in. Students are also welcome to complete a minor even if it is not required, as long as the minor is open to students of that major.

An undergraduate certificate at UWL is a secondary area of study with fewer requirements than either a major or a minor, but which cannot be completed without a major unless the student has already earned a baccalaureate degree. Students may be required to complete one or more certificates, depending on which college their primary major resides in. Students are also welcome to complete a certificate even if it is not required, as long as the certificate is open to students of that major. 

Microcredentials are optional programs smaller than a minor or certificate and narrower in focus.

Open to students in all colleges:

Open to College of Business Administration (CBA) students:

Pre-professional tracks are optional programs intended to help advise students in the common requirements for graduate professional programs. Pre-professional programs do not earn students a credential but instead help prepare them for graduate school. Students opting to declare a pre-professional track must still select a primary undergraduate major.
