The head of the state’s 13 two-year colleges told the UW System Board of Regents Thursday that those institutions should be able to provide a type of bachelor’s degree for place-bound or under-served students.
The University of Wisconsin Colleges are open admissions institutions that provide an access point for higher education for much of the state, said David Wilson, chancellor of the UW Colleges and UW-Extension.
But the colleges could do more to help fill the state’s needs for college graduates to build Wisconsin’s economy, he said.
