Western Technical College - La Crosse School Description

Western Technical College is committed to excellence in learning, continuous improvement, student success, employer satisfaction and community partnerships.

Western Technical College offers 43 programs that lead to an associate in applied science degree. These programs are in four divisions: Business, Family and Consumer Sciences, Human Services, and Industrial Technologies. An advisory committee with members from the field that the program prepares students to enter guides each program. The committee ensures that program content is relevant to the current job market.

Instructors at Western Technical College teach diverse topics and come from equally diverse backgrounds. But, they do have at least two things in common: First, they have actually worked in their areas of expertise and bring real-life experiences and knowledge to their classrooms. Second, they received district certification prior to teaching at Western.
