General Studies Certificate
Gateway Technical College is offering a 30-credit General Studies Transfer certificate that will transfer to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

This agreement covers 30 Gateway credits chosen from an approved list of courses within each of the following General Studies areas of study (please see bottom of page for exact courses which transfer): Social Science, 9 credits; Composition, 3 credits to 6 credits; Math, 4 credits to 5 credits; Natural Science, 4 credits; Humanities, 3 credits; Application and Performance 3 credits; Foreign Language, 6 credits Students would enter as a UW-Parkside sophomore if they complete the 30-credit General Studies Certificate at Gateway and meet the admission requirements at UW-Parkside.

They will also be assigned a UW-Parkside counselor who will help guide them with information on which general studies courses are appropriate for the bachelor’s degree they expect to seek and on admission to UW-P.
