The University of Wisconsin-Parkside and the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) colleges have forged a new articulation agreement designed to facilitate a smooth transition for graduates from any WTCS institution into UW-Parkside’s online Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management and Technology (HIMT) from WTCS’ Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology (HIT) program.

The agreement, tailored to support learners from across the state, is designed to offer students the flexibility to continue their education remotely while building upon the academic foundation achieved at any institution in the Wisconsin Technical College System.

The purpose of this program-to-program transfer agreement is to provide a seamless transfer opportunity for learners in the Wisconsin Technical College System who want to continue their education at UW-Parkside. Through the collaborative efforts of faculty, student services, and administration, learners will encounter a clear and supportive path at Parkside to reach their educational goals.

Students who successfully complete the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Health Information Technology (HIT) at a WTCS college and who meet the admission requirements of UW-Parkside will be admitted to the Health Information Management & Technology program with up to 64 credits toward a Bachelor of Science degree. UW-Parkside and WTCS institutions will provide dedicated academic advising to learners inquiring about UW-Parkside programs. Learners will be connected with a UW-Parkside advisor prior to transfer.
