The University of Wisconsin-Platteville congratulates the fall 2021 graduates of its distance education and master’s degree programs. Fall 2021 commencement, which took place Dec. 11, 2021, was the first to be held in person on campus since fall 2019, due to COVID-19. The fall ceremonies included both summer and fall 2021 students. Students who graduated between spring 2020 and spring 2021 who had their ceremonies postponed are invited to walk in the spring 2022 commencement. In addition to the in-person ceremonies in fall 2021, distance and graduate education graduates and their guests were invited to a reception hosted by the Office of Professional Program Support to celebrate with other graduates, faculty and staff. OPPS, which administers and supports distance and graduate education for the university, holds a reception each semester in honor of graduates who completed their degree through an online or master’s degree program. For many of these students, it is their first time visiting campus and meeting classmates, faculty, and staff face-to-face. Congratulations, class of 2021.
UW-Platteville offers three associate degrees, seven bachelor's degrees, and ten master's degrees at a distance.
