University of Wisconsin Stout | Wisconsin's Polytechnic University

Individual programs are planned jointly by the student and the graduate program director to emphasize both theory and application: Skills, knowledge, and aptitudes required to achieve the students' individual career goals are matched with graduate level learning experiences including coursework and seminars that utilize UW-Stout's state-of-the-art facilities. Off-campus learning may be facilitated through internships, outreach courses, independent study, distance education and self-paced courses.

The program requires core courses in preparation for research with an additional 12-14 credits in one of the following concentration areas:
