Any transfer credits applied toward a concentration are part of the total transfer limit for that degree.

A student may not earn a concentration and a certificate based on identical coursework.

STEP THREE: Complete a minimum of 15 credits from the list of qualifying elective courses. See courses: sois.uwm.edu/archives

STEP FOUR: Complete a fieldwork with a focus on archives. Fieldwork may be taken for 1, 2, or 3 credits during any one semester as part of the required 15 elective credits for the concentration. A total of 3 credits of fieldwork is required. Students wishing to waive this requirement must contact the Director.
