Completing an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at Lakeshore can save you over $7,000 in tuition alone compared to the most popular 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. Our Program Counselors 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.
