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