Vocational/Technical Concentration
This concentration includes education courses meeting certification requirements for technical college faculty. Students in the program may also choose to enroll in graduate courses in their particular field of study or discipline to meet the concentration requirement, if that will be more relevant.
Each semester, you will receive registration materials for upcoming classes. The registration deadline is at least 2 weeks before classes begin. Payment or verification of financial aid eligibility is required before registrations can be processed. A partial payment plan is available. For information on how to register for a WCTS certification course for graduate credit, please contact the Continuing Education office at 608.342.1314 for instructions.
Students officially admitted into the MSE degree program and registered for at least 5 credits per semester are eligible for financial aid. See the
Financial Aid web page. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed; call 608-342-1836 for an application.
Your UW-Platteville tuition and fees includes book rental for many of your classes. Students who are registered and paid will receive textbooks and course materials at the first class meeting. Books must be returned by end of the semester or you will be charged.
As a registered UW-Platteville student, you will be eligible to use Karrmann Library resources and will have access to those resources on-line. Please see the Guide for Off-Campus Users at our web site or chose “Off-Campus Users” from the library home page. Web site:
http://www.uwplatt.edu/library/database/
You may also use the libraries at UW System campuses in your area (UW-Platteville student ID may be required to check out materials).
You will receive a syllabus for each course with information about readings, assignments, exams, and grading. These are concentrated courses. So much information is covered during each meeting that missing one session will make a difference in your performance.
Classes are offered face-to-face or via interactive video distance technology at technical college, high school, or UW campus locations. For distance learning classes, the faculty is usually at the UW-Platteville campus, and schedules visits to the remote sites during the semester.
Employees of Southwest Technical College, Blackhawk Technical College, MATC-Madison, and MATC-Milwaukee may register for the certification courses listed below under
“Concentration”. In addition to registering for the course at your place of employment, you must register for graduate credit by selecting this link, which will take you to the Office of Continuing Education page at UWP:

The sequence of courses outlined below may vary slightly, depending on faculty availability and course enrollments. Each class requires a minimum of 12 - 15 students. If enrollment for a class falls below the minimum, the School of Education reserves the right to cancel the class.
