How to Apply

The flexibility of a UWW degree allows you to integrate more of your previous learning, such as workplace training programs, learning gained from experience, and specialized college courses that might not be acknowledged by traditional majors. More opportunities for credit lead to an accelerated degree program. How many credits will you be transferring in? What learning from experience will you bring? How many courses will you take each semester? UWW Advisors consider all these questions when estimating how long it will take individual students to complete the degree.
