MADISON â?? A select group of college students bound for Madison may opt for a two-year detour via Green Bay through a program designed to keep academic scholars enrolled in Wisconsin colleges.
University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly announced Thursday that the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has become the first four-year campus to join the UW-Madison Connections Program.
The program, which began in 2001, guarantees enrollment at UW-Madison for accepted students in their junior and senior years if they maintain certain academic requirements at participating two-year campuses and technical colleges in the state.
