Academic Programs

The UW–Madison School of Education is unique. Unlike traditional schools of education, it houses academic programs across three pillars of study: the arts, health, and education. Its breadth of subjects allows for exciting crossovers to happen in and out of the classroom. On top of that, every single program carries a common thread — a curriculum that emphasizes public good and innovation. So whether you study kinesiology, theatre or education policy, you’ll graduate ready to build a successful career and a better world.
