HE University of Wisconsin offers thirteen formal courses of study, em- 

 bracing the Ancient Classical, Modern Classical, General Science, and 

 English Courses; a Special Civic-historical Course antecedent to the 

 study of Law and Journalism; a Special Science Course antecedent to the study 

 of Medicine, and professional and technical courses in Law, Agriculture, Civil, 

 Mechanical, Mining and Metallurgical Engineering and Pharmacy. In connec- 

 tion with these courses many elective studies are offered, by selecting from 

 which students may, in considerable measure, shape for themselves courses, 

 especially in the Junior and Senior years. The number of possible courses 

 thus offered is very large. Special students are allowed much liberty in the 

 choice of studies. 



Excellent facilities for post-graduate study and investigation are offered. 



There are three methods of admission to the University: First, by ex- 

 amination at the University; second, by special local examination un- 

 der the supervision of an authorized agent of the University; and 

 third, by presentation of a proper certificate from an accredited school. 



I. The Regular Examinations at the University are two in number, one 

 in June (14th and 15th), and the other in September (4th and 5th). The earlier 

 examination is intended for those who wish to set at rest all doubt respecting 

 admission, while fresh upon their studies, and for those who wish to test their 

 qualifications at an early date that they may have time to make up deficiencies, 

 if necessary. The September examination immediately precedes the opening of 

 the fall term. 



II. To save expense and embarrassment to those who live at a distance, 

 Special Local Examinations will be given when satisfactory arrangements 

 can be made. Upon request, questions will be sent to any Principal or County 

 Superintendent who will consent to supervise the examination for the accommo- 

 dation of the candidate, and return the answers to the University. It will be 

 left with the candidate to make the necessary arrangements with the Principal or 

 Superintendent. 



III. Graduates of Accredited Schools will be received on the recom- 

 mendation of the Principal, without examination ; also students of accredited 

 schools who may be especially recommended by the Principal.
