GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Two area colleges are joining together under one roof.
Lakeland University will move its Green Bay Center to Northeast Wisconsin Technical College’s main campus.
The center, one of six that Lakeland has in Wisconsin, will be housed in the NWTC College of Business building (entrance 3) and will include an office presence and dedicated classroom.
Lakeland, which was founded in 1862 in Sheboygan County, has had a location in the Green Bay area since 1984.
“Lakeland and NWTC share a vision for a more educated region, and we are passionate about creating easier access for students to achieve their educational goals,” Lakeland President Beth Borgen said. “This move for Lakeland makes so much sense. Many of the students that Lakeland serves in the Green Bay area are NWTC graduates. And now they’ll be able to continue on the pathway to a bachelor’s degree at a campus that already feels like home.”
Through the Green Bay Center, Lakeland will offer more than a dozen bachelor’s degree programs as well as four master’s degree programs, which are available online, in person or any combination of the two.
The partnership will allow NWTC graduates to enroll at Lakeland as juniors, receive a 20% tuition discount for undergraduate courses and gain access to credit for prior learning as well as up to a full year of academic credit for work completed through Lakeland’s innovative Cooperative Education program. Lakeland University will begin offering classes directly on NWTC’s campus beginning this summer.
NWTC will host its Spring 2024 Open House on Thursday, March 21 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. where members of the community, attendees can tour the campus, learn more about Lakeland’s new Green Bay Center, and begin next steps in their academic journey.
