I am currently a UW-Madison graduate student in a different department. How do I add or change to a Geography major?
Your first step is to fill out an Application for Change of Major/Addition of Major for Currently Enrolled Graduate Students form, available from the Graduate Admissions Office, 228 Bascom Hall. The Graduate School will send us a copy of this form. You are responsible for the following: • writing a new statement of purpose for Geography, • providing us with an advisory UW-Madison transcript (Window 17, Peterson Building), • completing our Supplemental Department application, and • requesting that your current department sends us copies of your original letters of reference. If you do not feel these letters will adequately address your prospects as a student in the field of geography, please have three additional letters sent to us. Contact the Grad Student Coordinator to get a Recommendation letter form.
