Moraine Park Technical College and Ripon College signed an articulation agreement allowing students pursuing Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) liberal arts degrees to seamlessly transfer from Moraine Park and continue their education at Ripon College with confirmed junior status.
The agreement was signed by Ripon College President Victoria N. Folse and Moraine Park President Bonnie Baerwald on April 8.
“Our goal is to provide an education that works best for the students we serve,” Doug Hamm, vice president of teaching and learning at Moraine Park, said. “This agreement with Ripon College provides a wonderful opportunity for Moraine Park students to articulate to a premier institution of higher education in our district. We look forward to more collaboration with Ripon College moving forward.”
The partnership with Ripon College will impact students across Moraine Park’s 10 district counties: Dodge, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, and Washington counties; and portions of Calumet, Columbia, Marquette, Sheboygan, Waushara, and Winnebago.
Upon completion of the AA or AS degree at Moraine Park, students can transfer a minimum of 60 credits to Ripon College. All credits earned as part of the AA or AS degree will be transferred and credits outside those curricula will be evaluated individually.
Moraine Park began offering liberal arts degrees in 2022 as part of the University Transfer Degree program. Since then, the College has grown educational pathways for students by signing agreements with University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Lakeland University and Ripon College.
