Winona State University-Rochester Center

By Anna Stevens

“As a working adult with a family, the night business program is about as convenient as it gets,” says WSU-Rochester Center student and working professional Tyler Pronk. “The staff at WSU-Rochester is professional and personable. They have helped me tremendously so far in my student career.”

Pronk is one of roughly 1,000 students who attend classes at Winona State University’s Rochester Center. With more than 20 undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs available, WSU-Rochester Center is sure to have something available for any working professional.

WSU-Rochester Center has a growing partnership with RCTC, says Pete Myszkowski, WSU-Rochester Center enrollment communication coordinator. Two initiatives will make that bond even stronger: A new UCR Welcome Center is in the works to better serve prospective students entering RCTC and WSU-R programs. Also, the “Path to Purple” initiative will help students from RCTC in a one-year program that will lead to admission at WSU-Rochester Center.
