\"Mid-State<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mid-State Technical College and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point have partnered to help accounting students more easily transfer to a four-year program to continue their education. The new transfer agreement allows students who earn their two-year associate in applied science degree in Accounting<\/a> from Mid-State to begin as juniors in the Accounting<\/a> major in the UW-Stevens Point School of Business and Economics<\/a>, with credit for the full 60 credits already earned. The agreement was signed this fall and is available to students now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration increases the number of transfer pathways from \nMid-State to UW-Stevens Point\u2019s School of Business and Economics to \nthree. The other two are Business Management and Digital Marketing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transfer agreements between colleges help students experience an \neasier, more successful transition when transferring from one \ninstitution to another. These agreements guarantee admission, provide a \nprogram-to-program course map and allow students to maximize the credits\n that count toward degree requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne way we collaborate with our four-year partners is through the \ncreation of quality transfer agreements for students,\u201d said Mid-State \nDean of Business & Technology Missy Skurzewski-Servant. \u201cThere are \nmany benefits, but what students appreciate most is the ability to start\n and stay local in their educational journey and experience significant \ncost savings on tuition and living expenses while they embark on their \npath to a four-year degree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transfer agreement will benefit students starting their academic \ncareers, as well as returning adult students, noted Kevin Neuman, head, \nSchool of Business and Economics at UW-Stevens Point. \u201cThis agreement, \nalong with flexible course offerings from the UW-Stevens Point \nAccounting program, will help working adults come back to finish their \nfour-year Accounting degree and gain the skills needed to advance their \ncareers. We welcome the opportunity to partner with Mid-State to serve \nthis important population of students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough this new transfer agreement, we can offer our students an \nefficient pathway to earning an accounting degree at UW-Stevens Point,\u201d \nsaid Mid-State Accounting Instructor Bob Smith. \u201cAs a graduate of the \nUW-Stevens Point Accounting program, I have experienced the benefits of \nsuch a degree firsthand. We are grateful for the opportunity to work \nwith UW-Stevens Point on this and look forward to continuing \ncollaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
