Life happens. If you started on the path to your bachelor’s degree and needed to pause for any reason, we are here to help you pick up where you left off. If not having a bachelor’s is keeping you from where you want to be in your career, we are here to help. Completing an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at Lakeshore can save you almost $9,000 in tuition alone compared to the average cost of a public four-year in-state university.* Both degrees cover general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree and include elective courses. Both also offer guaranteed junior standing when you transfer to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, or Lakeland University. Explore options through Lakeshore College’s FORWARD partnership with UW-Green Bay. Learn more about degree options available by visiting lakeshoretouwgb.com. The Lakeshore College team will help ensure your coursework is selected appropriately, regardless of where you want to complete your bachelor’s—in state, out of state, or online. They will also help you determine whether any college credits you’ve already completed can be applied toward your degree.
