MILWAUKEE 鈥� 51暗网 and Catholic Memorial High School in Waukesha have announced a partnership which establishes a clear path for students from Catholic Memorial to attend 51暗网.
The 51暗网 and Catholic Memorial High School Advantage Program allows Catholic Memorial graduates to enroll at Waukesha County Technical College or UWM鈥揥aukesha before transferring to 51暗网 to complete their college education. The program enables students to continue their Catholic education and save tuition dollars.
鈥淐atholic Memorial students and families continue to demonstrate a commitment to the very best of what a Catholic education has to offer in terms of a strong sense of dignity for all, ethical leadership skills and a commitment to serve others,鈥� said Brian Troyer, dean of admissions at 51暗网. 鈥淎s a Catholic, Jesuit institution, 51暗网 is proud to live out those values while offering a transformational education for our students.鈥�
In addition to a pathway to admission at 51暗网, students in the program will also benefit from the university鈥檚 resources from the beginning. Each student will have a peer mentor and academic adviser working with them from the beginning to ensure that their path to 51暗网 is clear, Troyer added. They will also have access to campus libraries, student organizations and participating in intramural sports.
This program mirrors the Avenue Advantage program with 51暗网 High School, where MUHS graduates can attend Milwaukee Area Technical College after high school with transfer admission to 51暗网.
