Fall Registration Open

Jun 02, 2025

Course registration is now open for the fall semester. Consult our Fall 2025 Registration Information for instructions and more information, and talk to your advisor about adding this brand-new upper-level UWW Interdisciplinary Studies course to your degree plan:

UWW 391F Seminar- Family Histories & Stories: An Interdisciplinary Approach

“This interdisciplinary course focuses on family history and family narratives, asking students to recover their family histories and examine the impact of these histories on their current identities and their material lives. Students will read literature about the significance of family history; conduct genealogical research; analyze socio-political context, including migration forces and patterns, ethnic identity, and citizenship; and document family stories through original oral history research. The course will culminate in a project that preserves students' discoveries through the writing and documentation of original family stories.”

In addition, this fall we’re also offering these interesting upper-level UWW Interdisciplinary Studies courses:

UWW 304 Introduction to Counseling

“This course will introduce students to many of the core concepts of counseling, and by association psychotherapy … While students will engage in materials and discussions about therapeutic processes, basic counseling skills, common treatment practices, and important socio-cultural concepts; this course is not designed to prepare students to practice as a professional counselor. Instead, the material covered in this course is designed to orient undergraduate students interested in pursuing an advanced degree in counseling or psychotherapy to some of the fundamental concepts and skills required of masters and doctoral level professionals within the field (Clinical Social Workers, Psychologists, Marriage and Family Therapists, etc.).”

UWW 361 Introduction to Deaf Studies

“This course will provide an overview of the history, language, culture, societal contributions, diverse experiences of, and controversies within the Deaf community, and will provide students with knowledge and skills essential for working with people who are Deaf and hard of hearing. Topics will include modes of communication, educational philosophies, socioeconomic issues, technologies used, myths about, and systemic discrimination faced by Deaf and hard of hearing people. This is not an American Sign Language (ASL) class.”
