Second Year Program

Our team is excited to continue working with our students during their second year at UW-Madison. It is our mission to continue to support their personal, educational, and professional growth. As a second year student our students can expect to receive the same personal and holistic services that were available to them as a freshman. In addition, they are highly encouraged to take advantage of the Second Year Program created to help our students with career exploration and professional development.
Students can utilize all four components of the program or select one or more components of their choice. Our advisors will be able to assist with the decision and registration process.
