Our program’s team is one of its greatest strengths. You won’t find another distance education program—online or otherwise—that brings such diverse expertise together. That’s because the Independent Learning program is a collaboration between UW-Extension and UW System campus departments, industry partners, and leaders in the field including UW-Oshkosh, UW-Eau Claire, UW-Madison, UW-Superior, UW-Parkside, UW-Whitewater and the National Association of Parliamentarians.
Led by our Program Manager, our team of Student Services, Instructional Design, Media, Marketing, Information Technology, and Faculty work together to develop and facilitate in-demand college level courses that inform, engage and inspire within a self-paced distance education format. Together, we’re committed to offering a positive learning experience and supporting you toward successfully completing your course.
