NWTC/Franklin University online alliance

Ladder your NWTC learning into a convenient, online bachelor's degree!

NWTC has joined the Franklin University Community College Alliance (CCA) program created by Columbus, Ohio-based Franklin University. The CCA program offers students opportunity to further their learning while remaining close to home or work. The CCA program combines on-campus classes at NWTC with online classes through Franklin. NWTC students can begin anytime, in addition to any classes they are taking at NWTC.

The right combination of classes leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in one of these high-demand majors.

• Accounting
• Applied Management
• Business Administration
• Business Forensics
• Computer Science
• Digital Communication
• Financial Management
• Forensic Accounting
• Health Care Management
• Human Resources Management
• Information Technology
• Management
• Management Information Sciences
• Marketing
• Public Safety Management

Students in the program get support services from both schools, including advising services, bookstores and library access. For the online classes, assignments are posted on the Internet and turned in to professors via e-mail, while class discussions are held in virtual chat rooms and electronic bulletin boards.

The CCA program is part of NWTC's Flexible Learning Options offerings and is in keeping with the College's philosophy that all learners should be able to flow seamlessly among learning and working environments throughout their lives. Just as some working adults want their continuing education to produce credentials such as certificates and diplomas, some clearly wish to ladder their NWTC learning into bachelor's degrees. Adults across the country have responded enthusiastically to the easy-to-use program format and the convenience of working the class requirements into their daily routine.

Franklin classes, like NWTC classes, are eligible for federal financial aid. Applicants would fill out the FAFSA, just as though they were applying for one of NWTC's degree or diploma programs.

Reimbursement may also be available to employees through the Staff and Organizational Development office. Please consult Beth Hennes to find out whether a particular class would be eligible.

Franklin University was established in 1902 and serves more than 8,500 students annually, and over 1,000 are taking online courses. Franklin now has over 230 community and technical college members in 31 states (including the entire Wisconsin Technical College System.) Interested learners can register today for 3, 6, 12, and 15 week courses.
