Students at Fox Valley Technical College who are thinking about a career in business now have another clear path to a bachelor’s degree without having to leave Northeast Wisconsin.
FVTC has partnered with St. Norbert College to create a transfer agreement that makes it easier for students to continue their education in business administration and accounting through St. Norbert College’s Schneider School of Business and Economics.
For students who complete an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science or an Associate of Applied Arts in Business Management or Accounting at FVTC, the agreement offers a few key advantages:
- Guaranteed admission to St. Norbert College with a GPA of 2.5 or higher
- Clear, hassle‑free transfer of credits, enabling students to stay in Northeast Wisconsin while continuing their education
- Personalized advising with clear transfer mapping
“This partnership with the Schneider School of Business demonstrates the strength of our business programs,” says Scott Borley, FVTC dean of Business & IT. “It provides our graduates with an excellent local option to pursue their bachelor’s degree.”
The partnership also reflects what local employers are looking for – graduates who bring both strong technical business skills and strong ethical judgment and civic awareness.
“This agreement has been in the works for some time and it really will be a seamless transfer,” says Dr. Jennifer Lanter, vice president of Learning and chief academic officer. “The academic deans from St. Norbert College and FVTC leadership have had a chance to learn from each other and build this agreement. Our advisers recently went to SNC to see the campus and the resources available which is helpful to our advisers working with our students. We focus so much on really individualized attention and we see that is something clearly important to SNC.”
“This agreement reflects our commitment to expanding access so more students can experience the lifelong benefits of a Catholic, Norbertine, liberal arts education,” says Meghan Walsh, executive director of the Academic and Career Development Center at SNC. “We are excited about the opportunities this pathway creates for students, and we know that communities and organizations in Northeast Wisconsin will benefit from the talented, well-prepared graduates it helps develop.”
By simplifying the transfer process and reducing common roadblocks, the agreement is designed to expand access to bachelor’s degrees and to keep building a strong, skilled regional workforce.
