Wisconsin partnership opens nursing, teaching degree paths
Lakeshore College and the University of Wisconsin (UW)–Green Bay will launch a new program this fall that will allow students pursuing a teaching or nursing degree — two local sectors in much need of workers — to study at both institutions.
Participating students can begin by earning their associate degree with Lakeshore at its Cleveland Campus or at the UW-Green Bay’s Sheboygan Campus and finish with a bachelor’s degree at the UW-Green Bay Sheboygan Campus. The sharing of resources provides students enrolled in the program a “local solution to a four-year degree in high-demand fields,” according to the colleges.
“Lakeshore College is excited we are doing something which is not common in higher education – partnering with a four-year college to directly address the acute workforce needs in our community,” said Lakeshore College President Paul Carlsen. “Together with UW-Green Bay, we are making higher education local in Sheboygan at a time when other communities are experiencing a divestment in higher education.”
