Additional Graduation and Licensing Requirements

Students must complete all requirements and also obtain the endorsement of the program faculty advisor(s) to receive certification through UW-Madison. The State of Wisconsin requires that anyone wishing to teach in a public K-12 setting hold a valid teaching license issued through the Department of Public Instruction. In addition to completing a certification program, students must submit a separate application for this license.

Requirements below are based on UW-Madison course work. The graduation grade point average may be modified by the last 60 credits rule (see Mathematics Education "Application and Admission Information").

• 2.75 cumulative grade-point average
• 2.75 cumulative grade-point average in all major course work
• 2.5 cumulative grade-point average in all upper level major course work
• 2.75 cumulative grade-point average in all professional education course work
• Degree candidates must complete at least 120 total credits (program may require substantially more credits)
• No more than 40 credits from a single academic department may be applied toward the 120 minimum credits required for graduation.
• Major residency. Degree candidates must complete at least 15 credits of upper level major course work (numbered 300-699) in residence on the UW-Madison campus.
• Senior residency. Degree candidates must complete their last 30 credits in residence on the UW-Madison campus. Student teaching and practicum work are considered part of the 30 credits.
