In
our continuing efforts to make our distance programs available to people
around the world, UW-Platteville is working on a number of partnership
agreements with other educational institutions and businesses. As
each partnership is developed, we will keep you informed as to how this
will impact you or someone you know who might become involved in one of
our programs offered at a distance.
Transfer
agreements were recently signed with the University of Virginia and the
University of California-Irvine to allow graduate project management certificate
courses to transfer into our Project Management program. If you have attended
either of these institutions and would like to see how courses you have
taken may fit into our Project Management program, please contact the Distance
Learning Center and indicate you are interested in the transfer agreements.
In
addition, we are working on transfer agreements with the University of
Washington for both Project Management and Business Administration.
We
are in the final stages of completing an agreement with New Horizons computer
training company that will allow us to use some of their classes to count
toward computer science credits associated with the undergraduate degree
in Business Administration. When this agreement is completed, we
will provide additional information to you. In the meantime, if you
have questions about this partnership, please contact Dawn Drake at the
Distance Learning Center.
We
are looking at initiating and expanding transfer/articulation agreements
with several institutions, including Madison Area Technical College, Milwaukee
Area Technical College, Nicolet Technical College, Southwest Wisconsin
Technical College, Highland Community College, Colorado Community College
System, and Florida Community College System. When these agreements
become finalized, we will inform you.
Lastly,
we have been contacted by a variety of institutions in Jamaica, China,
Sweden, and Russia, expressing an interest in partnering with us in a variety
of our distance programs. Most of these discussions are in preliminary
stages, and we hope to have an agreement finalized during 2002.
As
you can see, there are a variety of opportunities for partnership that
are available with our distance programs. These partnerships allow
our students to become involved with many people from different cultures
and various backgrounds. If you know of a business or educational
institution that would make a good partner with UW-Platteville, please
pass this information along to our marketing coordinator, Darla Banfi,
in the Distance Learning Center. We plan to add a new area to our
web site to promote the partnerships that we are forming, which will allow
you to stay updated to the progress of these various agreements.
