Coming Fall 2013 to Green Lake Town Square
Credit Courses towards 2-year degree

Offered in partnership with Green Lake Town Square, Green Lake, WI, the University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac Continuing Education Department announces the creation of an accelerated degree program to be offered on site at Green Lake’s Town Square.

This unique program will be structured to offer five courses per year, attending classes two evenings a week, allowing for a completion of up to 15 credits per year. These classes will meet for seven weeks; with one week off before the next seven week class session begins. Students can also supplement their face to face classes with online courses from the UW System.

All credits earned are transferable to any other UW System School and classes will be taught by UW-Fond du Lac instructors. Financial aid may be available depending on the number of credits a student carries each semester. UW-Fond du Lac awards an Associate of Arts and Science Degree and offers a variety of bachelor’s degree completion programs, while offering the lowest tuition in the UW System.
