UW flexible degree a valid innovation

Flexibility has not been the hallmark of higher education. Rather, tradition and familiar processes tend to rule the day on college campuses. All of which makes the recent announcement of a “flexible degree” program throughout the UW System so exciting. The concept put forth by UW System President Kevin Reilly and UW Extension Chancellor Ray Cross, with a strong endorsement from Gov. Scott Walker, makes so much sense.
