Western’s University Transfer programs are equivalent to the first- and second-year general education courses offered at traditional universities. Our Associate of Arts program prepares you for Bachelor of Arts programs in the University of Wisconsin System as well as many other four-year transfer partners. You can save thousands of dollars and earn the same bachelor’s degree!

Our classes are tailored to fit your needs:

• Gaining knowledge and experience in the arts that broaden perspectives.
• Increasing problem solving abilities.
• Developing improved communication skills.
• Cultivating college-level literacy practices.

Choose courses that emphasize your individual educational goals! The AA degree is designed to provide essential soft skills for future careers and support transfer into arts, social sciences, or humanities degree programs.

If you have a particular college or university in mind, reach out to a Western College Advisor before selecting courses in order to develop a transfer plan or select one of the direct transfer plans developed with our four-year partners.
