MILWAUKEE â?? Adults who have some college credits but never finished four-year degrees could earn their diplomas at one of the stateâ??s 13 two-year colleges, under a proposal being developed by University of Wisconsin System officials.
The proposal is part of a growing focus on boosting per-capita income in a job market where recruiters increasingly demand bachelorâ??s degrees.
David Wilson, chancellor of the UW Colleges and UW Extension, expects to submit the proposal at the March meeting of the Board of Regents. Under the plan, the two-year colleges would expand their mission by granting their own four-year degree to a targeted group of adult students.
