New transfer agreement creates seamless pathway from FVTC to St. Norbert College
Initiative expands workforce-ready business pathways for skilled, ethical business leaders in Northeast Wisconsin
De Pere, Wis. — St. Norbert College and Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) have announced a new transfer agreement designed to provide FVTC students with a smooth, barrier‑free pathway to earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration and accounting, helping meet regional employer demand for skilled, ethical business leaders.
The agreement includes three key assurances for students:
1) Guaranteed admission to St. Norbert College with a GPA of 2.5 or higher
2) Clear, hassle‑free transfer of credits, enabling students to stay in Northeast Wisconsin while continuing their education
3) Personalized advising with clear transfer mapping
The collaboration aligns with growing workforce needs across the region, where employers increasingly seek graduates who pair technical business skills with strong ethical judgment and civic awareness.
“This agreement reflects our commitment to expanding access so more students can experience the lifelong benefits of a Catholic, Norbertine, liberal arts education. We are excited about the opportunities this pathway creates for students, and we know that communities and organizations in Northeast Wisconsin will benefit from the talented, well-prepared graduates it helps develop.” said Meghan Walsh, executive director of the Academic and Career Development Center at SNC.
St. Norbert College’s Schneider School of Business & Economics emphasizes critical thinking, communication, negotiation, and management skills essential in today’s interconnected economy. Students are also challenged to make decisions that balance profitability with social responsibility, reflecting employer demand for graduates who understand both the bottom line and the greater good.
The initiative reflects the college’s Norbertine value of stabilitas loci, a commitment to strengthening the local community by creating opportunities that help students live, learn, and work in the region.
The transfer pathways were designed with student success at the forefront, removing obstacles that often make it difficult for students from other institutions to transition into four‑year programs. Students benefit from personalized advising, transparent course‑to‑course transfer mapping, and access to St. Norbert College’s academic and co‑curricular resources.
“This partnership with the Schneider School of Business demonstrates the strength of our business programs, and provides our graduates with an excellent, local option to pursue their Bachelor’s degree,” said Scott Borley, dean of Business & IT at Fox Valley Technical College.
By simplifying the transfer process and reducing common barriers, the partnership is designed to improve completion rates and expand access to bachelor’s degrees, both of which are key factors in building a competitive regional workforce.
