In celebration of National Transfer Student Week, Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) and the University of Wisconsin\u2013Green Bay have announced two new transfer agreements that create affordable, streamlined pathways for students pursuing careers in\u00a0Criminal Justice<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The partnership was formalized with a signing ceremony on October 23, 2025, at FVTC\u2019s Public Safety Training Center. These agreements reflect a shared commitment to student success and regional workforce development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited about these new options for our students,\u201d said FVTC President Dr. Chris Matheny. \u201cThese pathways provide a clear route for students to continue their education, save money and enter the workforce with the skills our region needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the new Criminal Justice pathway, students earning associate degrees in Criminal Justice, Asset Protection, Forensic Science, or Legal Studies\/Paralegal at FVTC can seamlessly transfer into UW\u2013Green Bay\u2019s newly launched Criminal Justice major. Students will gain junior status upon transfer, saving thousands in tuition costs and accelerating their path to graduation.<\/p>\n

Starting in Fall 2026, students in FVTC\u2019s Human Resources, Business Management, Marketing, or Supply Chain Management programs will be able to transfer directly into UW\u2013Green Bay\u2019s bachelor\u2019s programs in Management, Marketing, Business Administration (Supply Chain emphasis), or Human Resources Management.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis progress honors the great education that is happening at the technical colleges in our region and breaks down barriers for students who want to continue their education,\u201d said UW\u2013Green Bay Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Kate Burns. \u201cUW\u2013Green Bay is proud to strengthen our partnership with FVTC \u2014 our second-largest transfer partner and a vital contributor to the region\u2019s talent ecosystem. This fall, 298 FVTC students are enrolled at UW\u2013Green Bay. It\u2019s all about access, opportunity, and helping students reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is great news for Divinia Cosio. Currently in the Legal Studies program at FVTC, her goal is to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree, then law school, with the ultimate goal of practicing criminal law.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that this is now an option,\u201d Divinia explains. \u201cI had hopes of attending UW-Green Bay for Criminal Justice after graduating from FVTC because it seemed like the right fit, but at that time, there wasn\u2019t a great route set up to accomplish that. Now, this has given me everything I wanted for planning my education path after FVTC.\u201d<\/p>\n

UW\u2013Green Bay Chancellor Michael Alexander praised the partnership and Divinia\u2019s story as a model for student success.<\/p>\n

\u201cDivinia\u2019s story is exactly why these transfer pathways matter,\u201d said UW\u2013Green Bay Chancellor Michael Alexander. \u201cShe begins with a high-quality, affordable education at Fox Valley Tech, seamlessly transfers to UW\u2013Green Bay to earn her bachelor\u2019s degree in Criminal Justice, and enters law school without debt that would prohibit her from continuing her education or her career. This is the kind of cost-effective, student-centered approach that sets our graduates up for long-term success in the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

These new agreements underscore both institutions\u2019 commitment to creating accessible, affordable, and career-aligned educational opportunities for students across Northeast Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
