GED/HSED Direct Admission

Congratulations on completing your GED® or HSED! You did it! Now you're ready for your next step–continuing your education at Mid-State. You are automatically accepted to Mid-State through our Direct Admission opportunity! All you need to do is choose what path is next for you.

Why Direct Admission?

The goal of Mid-State’s Direct Admission opportunity is to advance the 60 Forward initiative by removing admissions barriers to our college through admitting all GED/HSED graduates.

The Lumina Foundation’s A Stronger Nation Report reported that 60 percent of our national workforce, aged 25–64, will need a post-secondary credential by 2025 to meet the demands of industry and provide a stronger personal economic future. In response, the Wisconsin Technical Colleges, the UW System, and the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities created the 60 Forward Initiative, agreeing on the goal of increased postsecondary attainment of 60 percent by 2027. Currently, Wisconsin’s post-secondary attainment rates vary by county but range from 24–62 percent.

Mid-State’s Direct Admission opportunity supports this important national initiative to increase our state’s post-secondary attainment rate. The initiative will result in increased earning potential and economic mobility for students and a skilled workforce for Wisconsin’s employers.

There are no drawbacks or cost for simply being admitted to Mid-State. Only the benefit of additional options and ease of entry should you decide to enroll.

Why Mid-State?

The demand for skills gained in two-year technical degree programs is on the rise, with no end in sight. And compared to a four-year degree, technical college degrees come with far less student debt. Take a closer look at the reasons so many people make Mid-State their college of choice.
