“Nearly every county in NTC’s District falls well below the state average for Bachelor’s Degree attainment,” said Lori Weyers, President, NTC. “Our new Liberal Arts Transfer program is serving an unmet need while providing greater access to baccalaureate pathways. By pooling expertise and resources, NTC and Madison College are providing new opportunities for students pursuing higher education while serving the local workforce needs to a higher level.”

The program, Liberal Arts Transfer, gives students the opportunity to complete their general education classes at NTC with the intent to transfer them to a four-year college. This means that students can save money while completing the same classes that they need for a four-year degree such as Intro to Communications, Intro to Psychology and many others. Classes will be offered online for the ultimate flexibility, as well as hybrid courses offered through Zoom that provide additional structure with set lecture times and deadlines.

“We recognize that many families are considering alternatives to having their son or daughter go off to college this fall due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19,” said Weyers. “Our new Liberal Arts Transfer degree gives students an opportunity to earn their AA or AS degree locally at NTC and then transfer to any UW college, with guaranteed transfer to UW-Madison.”

The first 40 students who successfully apply to the Liberal Arts Transfer program will receive their first class free due to the generosity of the NTC Foundation. To get started, visit www.ntc.edu/liberal-arts
