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, collaborated to create the University Center at Rochester (UCR).  The Greater Rochester area, which UCR serves, 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. 

WSU-Rochester Center supports the University's “commitment to community.”   This commitment is evidenced by the Rochester Center's relationships with the IBM Corporation, Mayo Clinic, the Rochester School District, and many organizations and businesses, where students, faculty, and staff not only engage in experiential learning activities, but also provide hours of community service.

For many years, WSU-Rochester Center has served the region with distinction.  The numbers tell the story:  Over 2,000 students are served each year; over 5,000 bachelor's and master's degree candidates have graduated from programs offered at the WSU-Rochester Center campus.  Approximately 40 resident faculty serve WSU-Rochester, with an additional 20 faculty from the Winona campus dedicated to the Rochester Center each academic term.

WSU-Rochester Center facilitates student learning by offering both day and evening classes and, because it is located in the city of Rochester, UCR has unique opportunities to collaborate with the IBM Corporation, Mayo Clinic, and the Rochester School District to offer specialized classes in computer science, the health professions, and education.

DEGREES AND PROGRAMS
WSU-Rochester cooperates with Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC) to offer educational programs to the area. 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 Center.  At the WSU-Rochester campus, students can also complete numerous undergraduate minors and five graduate degrees within 16 different graduate programs.  Partnerships also exist among the Nursing Department, Mayo Clinic, and the University of Minnesota. For example, the WSU Master's Program in Nursing has courses available for students who are in the Mayo Clinic nurse anesthetist program. 

See page 37 in the WSU Catalog for detailed descriptions of the undergraduate programs.  For more information about the graduate programs, see the WSU Graduate Catalog.

Career Services assists first- and second-year students seeking career direction; juniors and seniors seeking internships; and seniors, graduate students and alumni seeking full-time employment.  Graduate students are encouraged to register with Career Services to take advantage of the broad range of services offered.  Individual advising appointments may be scheduled to discuss career direction and questions related to the job search, to critique resumes and cover letters, and to provide tips on interviewing.  A career counselor is available throughout the academic year to meet with students one-on-one or in small groups.  Appointments may also be scheduled for mock interviews on our interview kiosk.

Career Services provides opportunities for students to interact with employers through career fairs, job fairs, and other special events.  Employers have access to candidate resumes once they are uploaded into their Career Services online account.  Students can update their resumes online and access job openings 24/7 on the Career Services website.  Employment information and graduate follow-up results are also available for review online, in the Career Services office, and the Goddard Library.

Computer Facilities
The Rochester Center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for interactive television (ITV) and computer systems that link UCR students with the Winona campuses and the world.  The computer facilities consist of multiple smart rooms, one open computer lab, and a laptop rental center.  All labs allow students access to mainframes on the Winona campus.

Counseling
Academic counseling services are available through WSU-Rochester Center (507-285-7100). Staff members are professional counselors with extensive academic experience in counseling.

Financial Aid
Students should request an Application for Financial Aid when applying for admission.  Counseling is available for students concerning long- and short-term plans for financing their education. Preliminary information is available at WSU-Rochester.  Representatives from the WSU Financial Aid Office are available on the WSU-Rochester campus each week. 

Housing and Dining
The University Center at Rochester (UCR) is considered a commuter campus.  However, a variety of housing options are available in the Rochester area, including furnished and unfurnished apartments, efficiencies, single room rentals, and houses.  RCTC has a listing of housing information available for students.  In addition, Professional Property Management, a local independent agency, also provides information on housing for UCR students. Students may obtain housing information from both these sources at the UCR Information Desk. 

WSU-Rochester Center's cafeteria is located on the third floor of the College Center.  In addition to the cafeteria, the Café Express offers light meals and snacks during the evening hours.  Students may also use the microwaves located in the cafeteria as well as food and beverage vending machines located throughout the campus complex.

Joint WSU-RCTC Services
Other areas of student support are coordinated jointly by WSU-Rochester staff members; this includes child care and services to students with disabilities.

Library
WSU-Rochester students have access to the UCR Goddard Library in Rochester and the Darrell W. Krueger Library on the Winona campus.  WSU-Rochester's library holdings are integrated into UCR's Goddard Library holdings of over 57,000 volumes. This arrangement provides students with an extensive resource of reference and research material on the WSU-Rochester campus.  In addition, students may request overnight courier service to the Winona campus library for articles and books; they may also do online searches using MnPALS and a number of other systems.

Parking Services
Students will be charged a $3.25 parking fee per credit with a maximum parking fee of $48.75 per semester (subject to change).  This fee will automatically be added to a student's semester billing for tuition and fees.  No parking permit will be issued; student lots are designated. 

Student Disclosure Policy
At the UCR campus, Winona State University shares administrative tasks and other functions with RCTC and the University of Minnesota.  Educational records of students taking classes at the UCR campus may be made available to employees of these two institutions while the student is attending the UCR campus if access is necessary for the employee to provide services to the student.
