At Mid-State Technical College, there’s no single path to a four-year degree. That flexibility helps students move forward with confidence.
For Gabby Raczek, the path to a bachelor’s degree took a new direction. After beginning college out of state, she returned home and looked for a way to continue her education while staying close to her support system. Still committed to becoming a teacher, she chose Mid-State’s University Transfer-Associate of Arts program.
“I wasn’t sure going back was the best plan,” she said.
At Mid-State, Gabby found direction again. She completed her general education coursework, built confidence in the classroom, and gained a clear understanding of her next steps.
With guidance from instructors and advisors, she stayed on track and successfully transferred to the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point to pursue a degree in elementary education.
“Once I was finished at Mid-State, I was able to transfer without any trouble and continue working toward my degree,” she said.
Gabby credits the program’s structure and support for helping her succeed. Smaller classes and personalized guidance made it easier to choose the right courses and stay focused on her goals.
Her experience reflects what makes Mid-State’s university transfer programs work. Students build a strong academic foundation while benefiting from clear transfer pathways and a supportive learning environment.
At Mid-State, students do not need a perfect plan to get started. They just need a place that helps them move forward.
