MCW-Green Bay gains final OKs — good to go for 2015

The Medical College of Wisconsin says it will begin recruiting the first students at its new Green Bay-area campus for inaugural classes in July 2015 after receiving a pair of key accreditations. The Higher Learning Commission expanded its current accreditation of MCW’s main campus in Wauwatosa to include MCW-Green Bay, and the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the accrediting body specific to medical schools, determined the school to have the resources necessary to open its doors. It is expected the new school, to be located on the campus of St. Norbert College in De Pere, will recruit UW-Green Bay graduates to its student body and University faculty members as instructors.
