Regents to consider UW-Extension business degree

The University of Wisconsin’s ongoing adult education arm wants the authority to grant business degrees. The Board of Regents’ education committee will hear proposed revisions to UW-Extension’s mission statement on Thursday that would allow it to grant business certificates, associate degrees and bachelor’s degrees through the UW System’s Flex Option program, which allows adult students to earn credits by demonstrating real-life experience.
