News » UW-Oshkosh reaching out to former students

Mar. 19, 2010
Five years ago, UW-Oshkosh started a program aimed at helping more people earn college degrees.  Now that program is entering its second phase. 

Chancellor Richard Wells says during the first phase, UW-Oshkosh officials reconnected with former students who left before earning a bachelors degree.  Since then more than 150 of them have graduated, and over 200 are back in school. 

Wells says they're now contacting around 700 former students who were close to earning an associates degree before they left.  He says 17 have already completed all of the needed course work, and about 200 only need to take one or two more classes.

Wells says if the UW-Oshkosh program was adopted nationwide, more than 100,000 people could finish the necessary work to get the degrees that they've nearly earned.
