Wisconsin has two related problems when it comes to four-year college degrees. It doesn?t have enough people with such degrees. And it takes too long in many instances to get a four-year degree – while students and their families spend too much money.
The University of Wisconsin System wants to change that and is developing tools to make it easier and cheaper for transfer students to finish school. If they help more UW students graduate earlier, that will be a good thing. Even better: Expand the tools to include schools outside the system.
