St. Mary's University Partnership and Dual Enrollment

Educate-WI  partners with St. Mary’s University of Minnesota (SMU) to offer graduate level courses. Embedded within the online WiscAd Program application, students will be provided a link to apply to St. Mary’s University. Upon submission of application materials to both WiscAd and St. Mary’s, students become dually enrolled.

The WiscAd  program meets the Wisconsin DPI special education teacher certification requirements and the partnership with St. Mary’s University allows students to earn graduate credit and have access to financial aid if the student chooses to apply for the Master’s Degree Program. Official transcripts and financial aid disbursement are provided by St. Mary’s.

Up to twelve graduate credits from the  program can be transferred to St. Mary’s University of Minnesota Master’s Program.
