College is a big decision with a big investment.
Depending on your end goal, it may seem more approachable if you start with a short-term or two-year program and continue from there. Wisconsin technical colleges offer a variety of certificates and degrees designed to build on each other, giving you several options for degree completion and job advancement.
Many people who have earned a bachelor's degree return to one of our colleges to learn new or different skills, or to prepare for a technical occupation with more in-demand and high-paying job opportunities.
Transfer Credits to Wisconsin Technical Colleges
If you previously attended another college or university, you may be able to transfer credits or be granted credit for skills and knowledge you gained at that college. Wisconsin technical colleges also grant college credit for career-related learning, work experience and military service.
Transfer-in Contacts
Transfer Credits from Wisconsin Technical Colleges
All of our colleges have program-specific transfer agreements with four-year private colleges and universities and the University of Wisconsin System as well as some colleges and universities in other states. These agreements may contain course-to-course equivalencies, while others provide for a total program transfer.
Universal Credit Transfer Agreement
Students can transfer at least 30 credits from a core set of 11 courses, such as Psychology, Sociology and Algebra/Trigonometry, directly into the four-year University of Wisconsin institutions. The Universal Credit Transfer Agreement between the Wisconsin Technical College System and the University of Wisconsin System allows for roughly a year's worth of credits to be seamlessly applied toward a bachelor's degree.
Explore Credit Transfer
You can explore credit transfer between the our colleges and the UW System with Transferology at the Transfer Wisconsin website. Transfer Wisconsin also includes agreements from the College of Menominee Nation and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College.
Private Colleges and Universities
An agreement with Wisconsin's private colleges includes more than a dozen popular introductory courses such as chemistry, psychology, and speech. Under the agreement, specified technical college credits will count toward requirements for a bachelor’s degree at a private college, provided the student earned a grade of “C” or better within the last ten years. Technical college students must also meet the admissions requirements of the private college.
