The Engineering Pre-major provides Madison College students with clear pathways for transfer to several four-year colleges offering degrees in engineering. With small class sizes, personal attention, and high-quality education that transfers, the associate of science degree at Madison College is the on-ramp to your four-year degree.
The Liberal Arts Transfer program at Madison College provides you with many options for furthering your education and completing a bachelor’s degree. Many engineering programs at four-year institutions are highly competitive; therefore, Madison College students are encouraged to apply to multiple transfer institutions. We have agreements and pathways with many institutions across the region.
For students interested in transferring to UW-Platteville, review the UW-Platteville Engineering Transfer Guide to see how your Madison College courses will transfer. In addition to the traditional engineering degree programs offered at UW-Platteville, students can complete the UW-Platteville bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering at the Madison College Truax campus through UW-Platteville Engineering Partnerships.
Students interested in transferring to the COE at UW-Madison should follow the Off-Campus Transfer Student guidelines. Madison College offers several math, science and engineering courses that transfer directly to UW-Madison; see the list of Course Transfer Equivalencies.
