The University of Wisconsin-Platteville congratulates the spring 2021 graduates of its distance education and master’s degree programs. While in-person ceremonies were postponed until a later date, the university hosted a virtual graduation celebration to honor its graduates. Additionally, the in-person distance and graduate education reception—which is held each spring and fall to give online students a chance to visit with staff, faculty, and other graduates on campus before commencement—also went virtual. The virtual events provided graduates, guests, faculty, and staff from across the country the opportunity to join together from a distance and celebrate our newest alumni. Congratulations, class of 2021!
UW-Platteville offers three associate degrees, seven bachelor's degrees, and ten master's degrees at a distance.
