PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Since 1917, Winona State University has served students in Rochester, Minnesota and the surrounding area. In 1993, Winona State University, along with the University of Minnesota and Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC), collaborated to create the University Center at Rochester (UCR). The Greater Rochester area served by the UCR has a population of over 100,000 people; area residents have a high level of education attainment, and they are highly receptive to the lifelong learning opportunities offered by WSU-Rochester and the other institutions.
Its location in the growing city of Rochester provides WSU-Rochester with unique opportunities to offer specialized classes and programs aimed at key industries in the area, including computer science, the health care professions, business, and education. WSU-Rochester’s strong “commitment to community” is evident as students, faculty, and staff from a variety of programs engage in experiential community-based learning in area organizations, businesses, and schools.
WSU-Rochester has served the region with distinction, and the numbers tell the story. Over 2,000 students are served each year through day, evening, and weekend classes. Over 5,000 bachelor’s and master’s degree candidates have graduated from programs offered at the WSU-Rochester campus. Approximately 40 resident faculty serve WSU-Rochester; in addition, 20 faculty from the Winona campus are dedicated to the Rochester campus. A number of adjunct faculty professionals from area industries also serve students.

DEGREES AND PROGRAMS
WSU-Rochester provides upper-division courses for the completion of a number of WSU baccalaureate degrees. Entering students can transfer credits from other institutions through individual transcript evaluation or official 2+2 program agreements with RCTC. Through the 2+2 Program, students can complete 12 baccalaureate degree programs by transferring lower-division credits from RCTC and completing upper-level courses at WSU-Rochester. Students at WSU-Rochester can also complete numerous undergraduate minors and five graduate degrees within 16 different graduate programs at the Master’s Specialist, and Doctoral levels.
See page 37 for detailed descriptions of the undergraduate programs; for more information about the graduate programs, see the WSU Graduate Catalog.

Non-Credit Programs
WSU-Rochester cooperates with community and professional groups and WSU’s Outreach and Continuing Education Department to provide non-credit continuing education programs for educators, business and industry, agencies, and government.

Adult Entry Program
This program is designed for mature students who have never attended college or who are returning to college. Counselors are available in Rochester on a regular basis to assist adult students seeking a college education. Under this program, college credit may be awarded for life/work experience. (See “Outreach and Continuing Education Department” on page 29 for more information.)

ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION
Students who are not seeking a degree can enroll in WSU-Rochester classes without being formally admitted to the University; however, they must apply through the Provisional Admission process. Students seeking a degree must apply for admission to the University. Some degree programs also require an additional admission process. For general information about undergraduate admissions, see page 5. For general information about registration and academic records, see page 15.
While students applying for graduate degree programs must apply through the Graduate School office, it is possible to enroll in graduate courses as a “Graduate Special” student without applying to a graduate program. The student must provide proof that he or she has earned an undergraduate degree. For information about graduate admissions, consult the WSU Graduate Catalog.
