Academics
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College offers a large number of programs that allows students to pursue career training or academic transfer programs. Career training programs provide students with an education in a specific area or industry under the supervision of qualified professionals, obtaining the skills and abilities necessary to enter the workforce. Programs are taught through traditional and practical courses, with practical courses simulating real world environments in order to better prepare individuals for their responsibilities and duties. Programs take between one and two years to complete and result in a certificate or associate degree upon completion.
Transfer programs mirror the curriculum of the first two years of a four year education. Once completed the student will apply to a four year institution to continue their education and earn a bachelor's degree. Transfer is facilitated by agreements in place with public Wisconsin institutions that ease the requirements for entry. Individuals applying to private or out of state schools will have varying admissions requirements and should meet with a counselor to discuss curriculum.
