1-7-16 mptc, herzing university announce partnership

Students with an associate of applied science degree from Moraine Park Technical College will have a new, more flexible option to achieve a bachelor’s degree thanks to a partnership announced with Herzing University.  DEGREE UP provides a student-centered, affordable educational opportunity for Moraine Park Technical College students. Following students’ completion of an associate of applied science degree and application to DEGREE UP, they can pursue credit from both institutions simultaneously and take some additional courses through Moraine Park Technical College. This partnership will allow students to get needed educational training while taking advantage of the community college tuition rate for many of the needed courses.  DEGREE UP students will take their courses from Herzing University online or at one of Herzing’s Wisconsin-based campuses, allowing them to stay and finish their bachelor’s degree in state. The end result is a bachelor’s degree from Herzing University in as little as four years.    “We are very pleased to be partnering with Herzing University to offer our students the options the Degree Up program provides,” said Moraine Park Technical College President Bonnie Baerwald. “Whether they want to take classes in the traditional classroom setting or online, this partnership ensures our students who are interested in earning a bachelor’s degree, are able to do so efficiently by maximizing their transfer credits without retaking coursework.”
