The College of Health Sciences is the largest school of its kind in the state of Wisconsin. It prepares students for careers in health care administration and informatics, diagnostic medicine, health and fitness and the rehabilitation therapies. Our metropolitan location gives us ties to more than 100 local health care and recreation agencies, providing jobs, a setting for practical experience to augment classroom instruction, and community service opportunities.

Admission

Freshmen are admitted to the preprofessional component in the College of Health Sciences with one of the following plans: pre health sciences, pre-athletic training, pre-biomedical sciences, pre-communication sciences and disorders, pre-health care administration, pre-kinesiology and pre-occupational studies.

Admission policies of the College comply with the general regulations of UWM as presented earlier in this catalog. Upon admission to the College, the policies and procedures of the College of Health Sciences apply, even though the student may be enrolled in courses in another UWM school or college.

Enrollment in the preparatory program does not guarantee admission to the professional component or major, although nearly all eligible students over the past three years have been admitted. Admission criteria and timelines vary by major, and students are urged to consult regularly with their advisor for specific program application procedures.

Criteria for Selecting Candidates. Selection for progression into the professional component or major will be based on requirements met and other individual program factors. Each program in the College reserves the right to select its own candidates. More information and student applications are available from the Student Services Office.

Certificate Completion. Students wishing to complete any of the College of Health Sciences’ Baccalaureate Certificate Programs must meet with an academic advisor in the Student Services Office to declare their intention to complete the Certificate. TR Certificate students must submit a completed electronic Declaration of Intent form to Patricia Thomas at pthomas@uwm.edu. or to the Student Services Office. Certificate enrollment is open to all UWM students.

Academic Regulations

For information regarding action on unsatisfactory grades or about honors for scholarship, see Academic Information and Honors for Scholarship.

Students in all College of Health Sciences majors whose cumulative or semester GPA in professional studies falls below 2.5 (except occupational studies and all kinesiology majors, who must have a semester GPA of 2.75) are required to consult with their program head and obtain the Dean’s permission to continue in the program.

Academic Advising

Academic advising and counseling for all pre-professional students is available in the Office of Student Services. Students who have been admitted to their major/professional program may be assigned a faculty advisor. Professional and faculty advisors are prepared to guide academic planning, provide career and job market information, and to assist students in making appropriate career choices within the health professions. Students are strongly encouraged to schedule one advising session per semester (preferably before the registration process).

Students who believe they have a disability that might affect their academic or job performance are encouraged to meet with an advisor early in their academic planning to discuss appropriate accommodations. Graduation clearance service is available for all students planning to register for the last two semesters. Call (414) 229-2758 for an appointment.

Detailed descriptions of the College of Health Sciences programs are available in the Office of Student Services or on our website: www.chs.uwm.edu.

Transfer Students. The College of Health Sciences welcomes students from other academic areas on the UWM campus, and students transferring to UWM from other institutions. Students planning to transfer into any of the College’s majors should meet with an advisor in the Office of Student Services to plan their curriculum as early as possible. Most students find that a number of their courses transfer in meeting specific program and General Education Requirements (GER) needed for graduation. Students may meet with their advisor in person or by phone; quick questions to advisors may be handled by e-mail as well. Please call (414) 229-2758 for an appointment or information.

Degree Requirements

1. Satisfactory completion of 128 credits (120 credits for Kinesiology and 130 credits for BioMedical Sciences-Biomedical Science, BioMedical Sciences-Cytotechnology, BioMedical Sciences-Diagnostic Medical Sonography, BioMedical Sciences-Medical Technology, BioMedical Sciences-Radiologic Technology), and all course and program requirements of student’s curriculum.

2. Satisfaction of all University-wide General Education Requirements (GER), including meeting English proficiency and mathematics requirement and completion of course distribution requirements. Second degree candidates are exempt from these requirements.

3. A cumulative 2.5 GPA in all credits earned at UWM.

Special Opportunities/Requirements

Correspondence Courses. Correspondence courses may be taken only through the University of Wisconsin-Extension, with the permission of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Students may not exceed 18 credits during one semester, including correspondence courses and work in residence, without permission. Only elective course requirements may be met through correspondence and Extension study.

Independent Study. Independent study is available in each department. Credits are awarded for academic activities pursued outside the formal classroom setting under the supervision of a faculty member. Activities may include reading, research, and special projects and must be approved, in advance, by the full-time faculty supervisor. Independent study is offered at the lower and upper levels. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 at UWM to pursue independent study. Upper division independent study requires junior status. For more information, see the catalog course listings or contact the department chairperson.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Credit for specific college courses may be earned through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College Entrance Examination Board. Students will be granted degree credit only for subject examinations, and if they score at the 50th percentile or higher on National Sophomore norm. Credit for subject examinations may only be used to satisfy elective credits within the College of Health Sciences degree programs. A list of acceptable examinations may be found in the introductory section of this catalog under Academic Opportunities.

Requirements for Employment, Licensing, or Professional Organizations. Students should be aware that some professions, occupations, and employers are subject to licensing and/or bonding requirements. When a course of study includes clinical or field training, practice teaching, or internships, students will be required to have a check of criminal conviction records prior to acceptance of a student by the placement site. Students are responsible for obtaining the information necessary for them to become knowledgeable about these requirements and plan their studies accordingly.

Health Insurance Documentation. Students may be required to carry health insurance during internship or field work experiences. As a condition of placement in an internship program, students may also be required to have updated vaccinations (e.g. MMR, Hbv). In addition, a physical examination and TB test may be required.
