Welcome to the Pride! Fall semester is the chance to open new doors to opportunity as you start – or continue – your journey at Wallace State.

At Wallace State, there are a number of new opportunities to enhance your experience and prepare you for the future. A groundbreaking Diesel by Distance program allows you to learn from anywhere at your convenience, using virtual reality and earn-and-learn opportunities, along with drive-in assessments to complete a diesel degree or credential.

More earn-and-learn opportunities, such as the FAME program for industrial maintenance students, a Mercedes Co-op program with our automotive service program, and numerous internships and apprenticeships with area businesses and industries allow Wallace State students to earn money and experience while completing credentials. Inquire with our Center for Career and Workforce Development to learn more about these and other opportunities.
