FAQ's
Which school awards the degree & is the program accredited?
UW-Platteville confers the bachelor’s degree, even if the student never sets foot on that campus. Most students, in meeting UWP’s general education requirements, will also earn an Associate of Arts and Science degree from the UW-Colleges. The major programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology, Inc (ABET).
How long will the degree take to complete?
Time to complete the degree varies depending on credits transferred, math placement, number of credits each semester, number of terms attended each year (fall, spring, summer, winter) and internship/co-op experience participation. It is possible for students to take 5-8 years to complete the degree.
What time of day do you offer classes?
To accommodate employees, we offer the majority of engineering-related courses in late afternoon/evening. We consider weekend classes if demand dictates.
I’m still in high school – is this degree program possible for me, and what can I do to prepare?
Nearly 1/3 of our students come to us straight from high school. With the Project Lead the Way engineering curriculum in many area middle and high schools, local students can take advantage of learning engineering concepts at an earlier age. Taking advanced math courses is an even better way to prepare.
Will out-of-state students have to pay full tuition to attend classes?
No. Thanks to the Tri-State Initiative, you may qualify for a deep discount on the normal out-of-state tuition rates.
What sort of help is available for those balancing school with other life priorities?
Jack Champeau, director of this program, has worked with adult students for many years. He, along with a strong support network at UW-Rock’s Student Services office, can advise and assist with many issues. You’ll develop an educational plan that takes advantage of the scheduling of needed courses and find out more about tuition and financial aid.
