Coursework and pathways to professional degrees
<p>With our wide variety of regularly offered courses, you can complete the requirements for entrance into professional programs such as nursing, physical therapy, medicine, and others. Or you can jump start your path to a business or teaching career.</p>
<p>Students in these pathways may or may not choose to complete an associate degree at URock before transferring; an associate degree may provide you greater flexibility as your career goals change. Students can also work with their advisors on pathways to specific majors. By taking particular prerequisite coursework, you can shorten your time to a bachelor’s degree when you move on — to the Whitewater campus or wherever you plan to transfer.</p>
<p>Many of the top professional programs in our region accept our students, and our alumni tell us they received a solid foundation on which they are thriving.</p>
