Request Information about Nicolet College and its Programs
Nicolet's University Transfer Program provides a quality educational experience and serves as a foundation for success in any university baccalaureate major or minor. University Transfer Program courses are equal to those found in the first two years of four-year colleges and universities and fulfill many university general education requirements as well as a start on a specific discipline's degree requirements.
The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees demonstrate a broad general education. The required distribution of university transfer courses introduces students to a full range of communications, humanities, sciences, mathematics, and social sciences.
The Associate of Arts Degree provides greater concentration on social sciences and humanities.
The Associate of Science Degree places greater emphasis on science and mathematics.
University Transfer courses enhance students' fundamental knowledge of the forces that have shaped and continue to direct our cultural identity and increase their ability to think critically about complex subjects and present their conclusions coherently and precisely.
In addition to general education courses, a solid selection of freshman/ sophomore level courses are available for many majors. For select majors, transfer prior to graduation may be in the student's best interest. In that instance, students complete the Nicolet associate degree requirements at their transfer institution and are awarded a Nicolet degree.
While an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree is not required to transfer to many universities, some four-year institutions automatically grant junior status to degree graduates and waive specific lower division requirements they have for their own students. Follow the link to Nicolet's credit and degree transfer articulation agreements for details. Students should contact the Academic Advising Office at (715-365-4493) to work out a program of study in a specific area of interest.

Students who intend to transfer should inform their academic advisors at Nicolet of their intent to transfer and identify colleges or universities of interest as early as possible in their education process. Students in occupational applied associate degree programs may find it advantageous to substitute university transfer courses for the general education courses required in their degree programs. Advisors work with individual students to select courses at Nicolet that meet both the general education requirements and the requirements for the student's major at the transfer institution. Advisors use TIS - UW Transfer Information System to verify equivalencies and transferability of courses. They can also help students choose an appropriate college or university to meet the student's goals.
