About the Fast Track Courses

The University of Wisconsin-Waukesha offers courses designed for working adults to get a start on a University of Wisconsin education without giving up jobs, family commitments or anything that has prevented you from seeking a degree. These classes are compressed into a shorter time frame, scheduled in the evenings and attractively priced to meet your personal and financial needs.

Two mini-semesters are held within the traditional fall and spring semesters and classes are also held in between semesters (the Winterim) and in the summer. The Associates of Arts and Science Degree at UW-Waukesha can be done at your own pace, but it is possible to complete in as little as two years even by taking no more than one class at a time. Completion of the Associate Degree is dependent upon prior completion of English and mathematics core requirements and transfer credits.

Fast Track courses are able to be held more often than regularly scheduled courses due to the fact that the information is covered much faster. Some of the course material may be covered online in a blended format. All classes will be held in the evening and tuition is the same ($203.84 per credit hour) as it is for our regularly scheduled courses. You can also supplement with a full selection of online and 15 week traditional courses. Even better, financial aid is available for those who qualify.

** Blended and Online courses may not qualify for Veterans Benefits at this time.
