This full-day, full-week program integrates technology and arts, with exploration in the areas of architecture, performance and visual arts, digital photography, and computer design. All courses are cross-disciplinary in nature for students entering grades 6–9. Middle school students are challenged by the in-depth study of specific subject areas. The program has an open enrollment policy, and class assignments are on a first-come, first-served basis. Students utilize state-of-the-art campus resources and interact with UW-Madison faculty, staff, and community professionals throughout this pre-college program sponsored by the School of Education.

Numerous theatre conferences, workshops, and publications for theatre and drama professionals and the general public are offered through the UW–Madison Division of Continuing Studies. Interested participants can choose from Madison-area acting and improv classes, audition workshops, the Summer Drama Institute, a theatre directors' conference, and travel study programs. The department also co-sponsors the Wisconsin High School Theatre Festival each November. More information about each program is available on the Web site.

Providing a comprehensive introduction to sustainable agriculture, this Web site features a curriculum that is intended for use in high school classes.
