a two-year and a four-year college. If attending a traditional 4 year college appears too expensive

Wisconsin Community Colleges (2-Yr Colleges)Wisconsin Junior Colleges, Technical Schools, and InstitutesThe State of Wisconsin administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in Wisconsin, sometimes called Wisconsin junior colleges, or Wisconsin technical institutes, and so-called "four-year" Wisconsin colleges which award bachelor's and master's degrees. The "two-year" community educational institutions provide post-secondary education and lower-level tertiary education, granting certificates, diplomas, and associate's degrees in Wisconsin. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the Wisconsin local community Wisconsin's system of state technical colleges has a very distinct history, quite different from the junior college origins typical of the community college systems across the country. In 1911, recognizing the need for additional vocational and technical education to help the state's workers make the transition from a rural agricultural to an industrial economy, the legislature created the first comprehensive continuation school legislation in the country. The law created a State Board of Industrial Education and directed the city school board of every community of more than 5.000 to establish a local industrial education board. Accompanying legislation required compulsory attendance of any employed minor over age 14 who couldn't demonstrate literacy. It also required that employers release 14- to 16-year-olds for part-time attendance in the continuation schools. After WWII and the return of GIs needing education and technical training, increasing numbers of adults were trained and some college transfer programs were established. In 1965, major new legislation was passed creating 16 area districts to provide vocational, technical and adult education services to every part of the state. For the first time, the technical colleges received state-appropriated funds. Wisconsin College Degrees, Certificates, & Diplomas
