Associate in Science

Program number: 208002

Overview

Overview

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. 

Plan Your Path to Success!

  • New students should attend an Academic Information Session
  • Continuing students should view their Advisement Report
  • Check how your courses transfer within the UW System
  • Attend Engineering Transfer Advising hours, held every Monday 3:30-6:30 pm in room A2005. These hours are for walk-in advising; no appointment necessary!

UW-Platteville Pathways

In addition to the on-campus engineering degrees 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 the UW-Platteville Engineering Partnerships (UW-PEP) program. Madison College math, science, and engineering courses are designed to transfer seamlessly to meet the requirements for UW-Platteville’s engineering degrees on-campus or through the PEP program!

UW-Madison Pathways

Madison College’s math, science and engineering courses also transfer directly to UW-Madison’s College of Engineering (COE). Visit the COE website to learn more about engineering majors and degree requirement at UW-Madison. Students interested in transferring to the COE at UW-Madison should follow the Off-Campus Transfer Student guidelines.
