Direct Transfer Admission
Students from another UW System school (both two- and four-year) or one of the Wisconsin Technical Colleges are eligible for admission to the Wisconsin School of Business in the same term they transfer to UW-Madison. For consideration, these students must complete an online Wisconsin BBA application during the spring semester. Applicants not accepted to UW-Madison are not eligible for business school admission.
Non-Direct Transfer Admission
Students transferring from a private college or university in Wisconsin or outside the state must complete a minimum of 12 credits IN RESIDENCE at UW-Madison, as well as Sophomore or Junior Admission Requirements to be eligible. In addition, students applying under this status will need to have achieved a total of 24 credits (including credits from UW-Madison and previous institution) to be considered eligible. These students may apply the first spring after their 12 credit in-residence requirement is fulfilled.
Returning Adult Students
Returning Adult Students not currently enrolled must first be admitted to UW-Madison and meet the 12 credit in-residence requirement before applying. Applicants must also have completed a minimum of 24 degree credits by the end of the application term to be evaluated for admission. Transferring Returning Adult Students may apply only if they are currently enrolled at an institution.
Transfer students who wish to complete the Wisconsin BBA must transfer before completing 86 credits. Students who have attained senior status prior to transferring will not be considered.
Transfer Credit Equivalency Systems
The following websites have been developed to assist with the transfer credit process. These resources will allow you to gain a better understanding of how certain classes and courses transfer into the UW-Madison credit system.
Transfer Information System (TIS)
In-state credit transfer service that allows students to research transfer credits from the UW-System and Wisconsin Technical College System: http://tis.uwsa.edu/
Please also reference the U-Select system linked here for in-depth credit transfer information to UW-Madison: http://tis.uwsa.edu/plans/
Transfer Equivalency Database (TED)
