Benefits of a Technical College Pathway
Saving money on tuition
ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ is only a fraction of the cost of universities, including partnering institutions in the University of Wisconsin system. International students attending University of Wisconsin schools can expect to pay over $15,000 per year, while students interested in private universities will expect to pay over $20,000 per year. This means that spending two years at ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ will help students save enough money to pay for their entire third year!
Smaller class sizes & better support services
Students attending first-year courses at universities are often shocked to encounter classrooms with 100, 300, or more students per class! In these situations, students do not get the support and attention from their professors that they need to be successful. By comparison, ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ classes average fewer than 30 students per course. In addition, ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ has developed academic support programs which help all struggling students find the help they need to succeed.
Building your academic resume
Not all students come from countries where the education system is similar to the United States. For those international students who have their sight set on entering U.S. universities, but lack the academic requirements, attending ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ gives those students the opportunity to develop an academic resume that will get them into their desired university.
Developing work skills early
Many bachelor’s degree programs are focused on academic theory. Graduates finish university studies without ever developing any hands-on skills that employers will demand. Technical colleges are designed to give Associate degree earning students develop the work skills they need to go directly into the workplace. ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ associate degree programs boast 100% full-time employment in their field for graduates in over 20 programs. Savvy students seeking Bachelor’s degrees by first attending ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½, will develop work skills in technical programs, and then finish their Bachelor’s degree in the same four-year timeframe as students who go directly to universities.
Participating in additional internship opportunities
Many ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ programs offer internship opportunities for program participants and graduates. International students are permitted to participate in Optional Practical Training (OPT) and Curricular Practical Training (CPT) at each level of study with the F-1 student visa. Students may wish to get up-to a year of additional work experience before transferring to a four-year university after earning their associate degree at ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½. Acquiring job skills and building a professional resume are important benefits of internship, OPT, and CPT opportunities.
