Do More in Our Polytechnic Community
Your path through college can take a lot of turns, so it's not surprising if you're looking to expand your horizons or take a different road. Thousands of U.S. students transfer every year—to turn their associate's degrees into bachelor's opportunities or because their four-year experience just didn't measure up to expectations.
As Wisconsin's Polytechnic University, we're well aware of transfer student needs. A third of our students transfer from other institutions looking to change their field or to pursue career-focused project-learning opportunities they couldn't find at traditional four-year universities. And they love it here!
Whatever brings you to Stout, we want your transition to be as easy and rewarding as possible. If you need anything, reach out to our full-time transfer support staff. They're dedicated to making sure you find your future among our Blue Devils.

Not Sure If You're a Transfer Student?
A transfer student is anyone who has attended another college or university after graduating from high school. If you've taken at least one college-level course after graduating, you're technically a transfer student, but if you've completed fewer than 12 college-level credits, you might also want to see if entering UW-Stout as a first-year student is a better option.
You're likely to have questions about Stout, our community, and how your existing credits will transfer, so hopefully these resources help to get you started. But we're always here to answer questions related to your personal circumstances. And sometimes it's just easier to get straight to the point. Let us know how we can help!
