Mid-State to offer new agribusiness transfer opportunity

Metro Wire Staff

Mid-State Technical College now offers students an easier method to transfer into a four-year program, thanks to a partnership with UW-Platteville.

Students who earn their two-year associate in applied science degree in Agribusiness and Science Technology at Mid-State can seamlessly transfer to UW-Platteville’s bachelor of science in Agricultural Education non-teaching program, under an agreement signed recently between the two schools.

Quality transfer agreements between colleges help students navigate the pitfalls of attaining additional credentials and ensure an easier, more successful transition when transferring from one institution to another.

According to mid-State, the transfer agreement guarantees admission, provides a program-to-program course map, and allows students to maximize the credits that count toward degree requirements.

“We’re excited to add yet another new quality transfer agreement to the many available to our students,” said Mid-State Dean of General Education Suzanne Rathe. “Students can start and stay local in their educational journey and enjoy all the benefits that it brings—including significant cost savings on tuition and living expenses while they embark on their path to a four-year degree.”

Students can start in Mid-State’s Agribusiness and Science Technology program in spring, fall or even mid-term as early as this October. Some of the classes are available in person on the Stevens Point and Adams campuses, and online and other flexible class options are also offered for certain classes.
