School Notes
Nicolet is a public community college serving Northern
Wisconsin from its Lake Julia campus on Lake Julia south of
Rhinelander, from the Lakeland campus in Minocqua, and from other
instruction centers located within the Nicolet District. The
College offers one- and two-year career diplomas and degrees,
liberal arts university transfer studies, and a comprehensive
continuing education program. Created in 1967 as a pilot community
college, Nicolet was destined to be unique in Wisconsin. In a state
with University of Wisconsin branch campuses and separately
administered technical colleges, Nicolet's mission is to combine
the two functions and offer a comprehensive educational program
incorporating occupational education, liberal studies, and
continuing education offerings. In its short history it has
persisted in removing artificial barriers between what
traditionally have been identified as "academic" and "vocational."
The total curriculum is open to all members of the Nicolet learning
community. Students develop programs to meet individual educational
and occupational goals. The Nicolet District is comprised of all of
Oneida, Vilas, and Forest counties, and portions of Iron, Lincoln,
and Langlade counties. The District presently includes
approximately 4,000 square miles with a population of 70,000
persons. Nicolet currently serves over 1,500 students each semester
with offerings in vocational-technical and liberal arts and
approximately 10,000 in continuing education, trade extension, and
apprenticeship programs. The governing agency for the College is
the Nicolet Board. The institution is under the general
jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Technical College System. Nicolet is
fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (formerly North
Central Association of Colleges and Schools).
