Research shows that students who enroll in early college or dual credit have improved postsecondary persistence and a higher rate of degree or credential completion.

• Every student will work individually and consistently with a Student Success Coach and school counselor. The coach and counselor will assist students throughout the program admissions process, advising, providing academic and social support and serving as a transition specialist upon graduation.
• The cost of the program will be shared between families and the Mishicot School District. If your family has a financial need, please talk with your school counselor.
• Flexible class schedules will be developed in order to fit individual student needs. Students will take a combination of college credit courses at Mishicot High School, UW-Green Bay, Manitowoc or online. Students are also able to take regular high school courses at Mishicot (band, choir, etc.). Students will be able to participate in extra curricular activities both at high school and on campus. 
• Students will learn together as a cohort, supporting each other and sharing resources.
• ​UW-Green Bay’s Student Accessibility Services will help students with a documented disability (IEP, 504), with academic accommodations.
• Students will graduate with their High School Diploma and the opportunity to earn an Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree (60 credits).

An Associate of Arts and Sciences (AAS) degree requires students to complete 60 college credits that include general education courses and an area of emphasis. With an AAS degree, you have essentially completed the first two years of a bachelor’s degree! You can either continue with UW-Green Bay or transfer to another 4-year college or university where your general education requirements will likely be completed. Students are also able to jump right into the workforce with an AAS degree.

Admissions process begins in winter and rolls out with a cohort of Mishicot High School juniors in fall through their projected graduation in spring two years later. Students apply as sophomores and are enrolled in the program as juniors and seniors.
 

The skills and knowledge students need to be admitted to college are the same ones they need to succeed at a job. Being college-ready means students are ready to do well in a four-year university, a two-year college, an apprenticeship or a job.

UW-Green Bay will facilitate a holistic admissions process, assessing students individually based on academic and personal backgrounds. All admission decisions will be made by UW-Green Bay staff in collaboration with Mishicot High School counselors. We are looking for students who have shown the maturity, academic readiness and grit needed to succeed at advanced education.
