Business at UWMC

Is this program right for me?
If you are a traditional student and have completed or are nearing completion of your associate degree and want to stay in the Wausau area this program is for you.  If you are a working adult and are ready to finish your degree this program will definitely suit your needs.

Where do I begin?
Make an advising appointment at UWMC with Lynn Kordus at 715-261-6380 lynn.kordus@uwc.edu.  Bring a copy of your transcripts in order to begin the credit evaluation process and to determine your course sequence.  You will be a UWMC student until you complete your associate degree.  While you are working on your associate degree you may apply to UWSP and declare your major. 

Can I take courses from both campuses at the same time?
Yes. While you are completing your associate degree, you may enroll in the core business courses under a special student status without having to apply to UWSP. However, the sooner you apply to UWSP, the better we can meet your advising needs and plan for a smooth transfer saving you time and money.

What if I have bachelor's degree in a field other than business?
Come back to school and earn your UW business degree. Make an advising appointment at UWMC with Lynn Kordus at 715-261-6380 lynn.kordus@uwc.edu. Bring a copy of your transcripts in order to begin the credit evaluation process and to determine your course sequence.

How soon can I complete my degree?
This will vary based on your schedule.  Students who have completed their associate degree will be able to earn their bachelor's degree in two to three years. 

• "Principles of Management was an excellent course.  It was very well instructed and the requirements were not impossible to achieve.  Overall I think that this is one of the most interesting courses I have taken.  I took it because I needed to, but learned far more than I anticipated."

• "I was very excited to have Principles of Management offered here in Wausau because I was able to take an extended lunch hour at work and come to class.  I am a full-time employee and my supervisor allowed me the long lunch so I could better my education.  But, if I had to drive to Point to take the class, I would not have followed through with getting my degree.  I am also a non-trad.  I have a husband and two kids at home who need me.  Having Point classes here in Wausau has been a great convenience for me.  Thank you for going through with it."

• "As a condition of admittance into an MBA program, I needed two business courses to supplement a liberal arts BA. UW-Stevens Point’s outreach in Wausau provided me with classroom learning opportunities conveniently near where I live and work. It has been a great educational experience."
