SWTC Associate Degrees		UW-P Baccalaureate Degree
Electrical-Mechanical Technology (Electronics Emphasis), Electrical-Mechanical Technology (Mechanical Emphasis), Electronics, Mechanical Design Technician		Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Technology Management

Rationale:

The Southwest Wisconsin Technical College prepares students entering the world of work by offering Associate Degree programs with technical and industrial emphases. The Industrial Studies Department at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville offers bachelors degree programs in industrial and technical management areas. The Associate Degree programs place a high degree of emphasis upon application and entry level skills while the bachelors degree at UW-Platteville builds upon the introductory application skills by adding theoretical coursework, management and business skills, analytical and humanistic competencies, and industrial internships. As industrial employment requirements become more complex and workplace changes occur with more frequency, students need the opportunity to upgrade their technical skills and competencies by pursuing a related collegiate level program. The advent of Tech Prep in the United States suggests the need for broadly educated workers with a high propensity of critical thinking and problem solving skills. This national thrust strongly suggests that articulation agreements be developed between institutions to ensure a broadly and extensively educated citizenry.

Additional Information

In order for these courses to transfer, the student must have completed the courses no earlier than the 1973-74 academic year with a grade of "C" or better.
Effective Date: This agreement was created June 1, 1993, and revised May 1, 1999. The agreement covers courses which have been previously approved by the UW-System.

Definition:

Program-to-program transfer courses/credits are accepted only for the program/degree specified in this agreement. A change of major/degree/program invalidates these courses/credits for transfer unless they are approved within some other program-to-program Articulation Agreement for a different major/degree/program at UW-Platteville.
