Can I be a student athlete and still do this degree?
Yes, but eligibility depends on your specific situation. If you plan to compete in NCAA athletics, you’ll need to work closely with your coach and compliance office to ensure the program meets eligibility requirements set by the NCAA and the Badger athletic department. We recommend connecting with both your athletics department and an admissions advisor to discuss your options.
