agreements exist with many colleges and universities, and these agreements enable WCTC associate degree
graduates to transfer specific credits into baccalaureate programs, often at junior-level standing.
Multiple learning opportunities, beyond the traditional college experience, meet students’ diverse needs:
• Blended Options, for working adults who have some college credit but no degree
• Dual Enrollment Academy, for high school students who want a jump start on their
post-secondary education
• Career Pathways, for those who want to take one certificate at a time and build toward a
technical diploma or associate degree
• Apprenticeships, for those seeking to learn a specific trade and earn while they learn
Many of these opportunities include hybrid components, such as online learning, along with accelerated
options for added flexibility.

WCTC offers a wide variety of
academic degree programs
Multiple program delivery
methods accommodate
students’ needs
WCTC’s four Schools – the School of Applied Technologies, School of
Business, School of Health and School of Protective & Human Services
– offer a diverse collection of program offerings. Whether an associate
degree, technical diploma or apprenticeship, all programs offer students
comprehensive training that provides them with skills that can be
immediately applied to the workforce.
A one-size-fits-all approach to education isn’t right
for all learners. Students’ needs are diverse, and
they come to college from all walks of life and at all
stages of their lives. And as such, they need their
education to work for them. WCTC offers College
programs in a number of delivery formats to meet
students’ individual educational needs.
ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE
TRADITIONAL
An Associate of Applied Science degree combines technical skills
classes with general education classes. Full-time students can typically
complete a 60- to 70-credit program within two years. Many transfer
agreements exist with four-year colleges and universities, often allowing
students to begin their baccalaureate studies at junior-level standing.
Check with your academic advisor.
Programs offered in the traditional format feature
face-to-face in-classroom instruction during the day,
at night or on weekends. Online learning options are
also available.
TECHNICAL DIPLOMA
Technical Diploma programs focus on hands-on learning of occupational
skills. They can take as little as one semester (2–25 credits), one year
(26–54 credits) or two years (55–70 credits) to complete. Additionally,
for many technical diploma programs, just one more year of studies is
needed in a related program to earn an associate degree.
APPRENTICESHIP
Apprentices learn a trade by practical experience under a skilled
worker – generally bound by a contract for a set time between the
apprentice (employee) and employer or joint apprenticeship training
committee. The contract details areas of training, hours of training
and wages during the training period.
While WCTC provides related apprenticeship instruction, the
student does not need to apply to the College; it is separate from
a traditional college program in that the State of Wisconsin
Department of Workforce Development oversees the apprenticeship
system. General apprenticeship information can be found at
www.wisconsinapprenticeship.org.
6
BLENDED OPTIONS
A form of accelerated online learning, program
courses are organized into short, manageable
segments that meet once per week. Traditional
16-week courses can be completed in six to eight
weeks. These programs are designed for technologyproficient students who have prior academic and work
experience and want to earn an Associate of Applied
Science degree in two years or less.
PATHWAYS
Programs are structured to be taken one certificate
at a time and build toward longer-term credentials
such as a technical diploma or associate degree.
Students can find employment at different points in
the pathway.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Dual Enrollment Academy (DEA) helps high
school seniors with a head start in jobs in highdemand fields while giving them an opportunity
to earn College credits. Those who successfully
complete a DEA program and earn a certificate can
transfer those credits into select WCTC technical
diploma or associate degree programs, allowing
them the opportunity to finish their program in a
shorter timeframe.
Maximize credit for prior learning
and transferability
PRIOR CREDIT CAN SAVE STUDENTS’
TIME AND MONEY
Credit for prior learning gives students an advantage when
starting down the higher education path. Possibilities exist
for incoming WCTC students to start their college education
having earned a handful – or several – credits, even before
their program begins. In many cases, WCTC will grant credit for
knowledge or skills equivalent to the WCTC curriculum – credit
that can save students’ time and money.
WCTC may accept credits through:
•Credit transferred in from another accredited higher learning
institution or from college-level military service.
•Experiential learning credits for knowledge gained through
occupations, military services, specialized training and
other prior learning. (Experience must be comparable
in content and level or rigor to specific technical courses
or competencies.)
•Transcripted credits (for students taking WCTC courses
while in high school).
• Youth options programs and youth apprenticeships.
•Advanced Placement (AP) Exam, College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) Exam and DSST Exam.
TRANSFER AGREEMENTS HELP STUDENTS
ADVANCE THEIR EDUCATION
Additionally, WCTC has transfer agreements in place with
numerous four-year colleges and universities in Wisconsin
and throughout the region. Those planning to continue
their education may be able to apply WCTC credits to their
baccalaureate program. Students can transfer individual
credits or take advantage of articulation agreements with
these institutions. Depending on guidelines from the receiving
college, student may begin at junior-level standing. Those
interested in continuing their education at a four-year institution
should contact the institution they would like to attend and
speak to the transfer coordinator to discuss program details.
“All the instructors at WCTC
provided an environment that was
instrumental to my learning. Their
instructional methods inspired me
to learn and excel. The advisory
committee that WCTC and its
partners have is an added benefit
for me. By having industry give
guidance to the College on the
trends and what they are looking
for helps shape the right courses
that we need to be successful.”

Financial aid helps defray costs
MORE THAN HALF OF WCTC PROGRAM STUDENTS RECEIVE AID
In recent years, more than 60 percent of college students in the United States received
some type of financial aid to help offset tuition and fees, books, supplies and other
college expenses. In the 2014-15 academic year, more than one-half of Waukesha
County Technical College’s program students received some form of aid.
WCTC’s Financial Aid department can provide financial assistance in the form of loans,
grants, part-time employment, scholarships and military/veterans benefits. Some are
based on need, while others are based on merit; however, all are designed to meet
individual student’s needs. Financial aid representatives can guide students through the
financial aid process and answer questions about filling out the FAFSA (Free Application
for Student Financial Aid), which is the required form used to determine eligibility for
federal, state and college-sponsored financial aid.
The most common types of financial aid include:
WCTC Foundation
scholarships

works hard to match students with
scholarships. Dozens of named
scholarships are available in a
number of categories. Application
