Weekday College for Adult and Transfer Students

Weekday College courses are offered Monday through Friday primarily during the day, although occasional evening courses are available. Students can attend Weekday College full-time (12 - 18 credits) or part-time (less than 12 credits). Courses are conducted in bigger blocks of time fewer days of the week to accommodate busy schedules and those who may be working and attending school.

Adult and transfer students find Alverno a comfortable learning environment, in part, because there are so many women of similar age and background. They also share their professional and/or educational experiences in hands-on, discussion-oriented classrooms.

Approximately 1775 students attend Weekday College. They are diverse in age, ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. Ages range from 18 to 64, with the average age of 24. Most students come from the Milwaukee area; however, Alverno has students from as far away as California, Texas and Florida.
