Start Planning What You Will Study

If you’re going to be a freshman or first-year college student, your University of Wisconsin may require you take a placement test before you arrive on campus to determine which math, English, and world language courses you can take.

While you’re getting a jump on things, it’s a good time to start planning out how you will approach your courses in college too. If you want to get your bachelor’s degree in four years, or your associate degree in two, you’ll need to average 15 credits per semester (or 30 credits per year) to graduate on time. That’s good to know early, so you can start strong and plan how to keep on track.
