University of Wisconsin Colleges
Associate of Arts and Science Degree
Economics Emphasis
Introduction and Rationale:
The University of Wisconsin-Superior maintains an educational partnership with the University of Wisconsin
Colleges to provide opportunities for students to enter bachelor’s degree completion programs. In the interest of fostering cooperation between our institutions, and to better serve the transfer of students, the faculty of the Department of Business and Economics and administrations of our institutions have established this transfer guide.
This guide specifies the transfer of credit from the University of Wisconsin Colleges Associate Degree named above to the UW-S Bachelor’s Degree named above in recognition that the University of Wisconsin Colleges program prepares students for admission to this Bachelor’s degree program. The underlying assumption for this Agreement is that the college provides a foundation of general education courses and the University provides the upper-level courses required within the Bachelor’s degree program.
University of Wisconsin Colleges students who successfully complete the Associates of Arts and Science degree (AAS) with a Business Emphasis wishing to transfer to the University of Wisconsin-Superior will be awarded the following credits toward the Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Economics from the
Department of Business and Economics.
