Business Certificate

If you haven't completed any college courses (or just a few), you may apply to this program as a freshman. Before taking courses in the areas noted, you'll need to complete your general education credits (freshman and sophomore courses). However, if you have 60 or more credits from one of the University of Wisconsin Colleges (the two-year campuses) or another college, you may qualify to enter the program as a third-year student. Whatever your situation, our advisors will work with you on a personalized plan to get you off to the right start.

Evening Meeting Times and Convenient Course Locations

Although your degree will be awarded by a four year campus, you can take ALL of your courses at many of the UW two year campuses.

All courses will be taught in the evening by university faculty. Some classes will be traditional "live" classes. In other instances, you'll be connected with your instructor and peers via a distance learning lab. If your class is taught through the distance lab, your instructor will spend time teaching in person at your campus to ensure face-to-face contact with all students. You may also have the option of fulfilling some credits via courses offered over the internet.

A Quality Education at an Affordable Cost

A quality education CAN be affordable. Many students are eligible for financial aid. Call or stop by the financial aid offices at any of the UW-System Colleges to apply for grants, loans and scholarships. In addition, if you work, your employer may offer tuition reimbursement. Check with your Human Resources Department to find out if tuition assistance is available.
