UWM and Milwaukee Area Technical College offer pathways to make transfer easier for students. These pathways show how associate degree courses apply to a related bachelor’s degree.
We have done our best to make sure as many associate courses as possible count toward a bachelor’s degree. The pathways:
- Identify course-to-course equivalencies
- Outline exceptions granted by relevant articulation agreements
- Recommend appropriate substitutions so more courses transfer
Students who follow the pathways will transfer in the most efficient way.
