The UA University website serves as a place for UA members to get information on
available training options. UA members are eligible to take a variety of specialized classes,
some of which can be applied toward degree programs at Washtenaw Community College, the National
Labor College, and Ferris State University.
The Course Information, Course Schedule,
and Registration & Payment pages of this site all apply directly to
courses offered through the training centers. Specific courses are
offered that can be applied to journeyworker certifications, the Instructor Training Program or used as
part of the degree programs at Washtenaw Community College.
The UA and WCC have made it easy for you to get your associate degree. You can earn 32 credits as you complete
your apprenticeship. Alternatively, if you've already completed your apprenticeship, you can take the
UA STAR exam as described on the UA STAR Program page to obtain the 32
credits. These 32 credits put you halfway to an associate degree.
Keep in mind that in order to graduate with a WCC degree, you'll have to take at least 15 credits that qualify
for residency as described on the Course Information page. WCC has designed
the College on Demand® program as a
system that allows you to easily meet this residency requirement from the comfort of your own home.
Once you've completed your associate degree you may decide to go forward and earn a bachelor degree. The UA has
partnered with the National Labor College and Ferris State University to create programs tailored to UA members
transferring from Washtenaw Community College.
This site contains pages describing programs available from these UA partner universities.
We encourage you to take the next step by looking at some of the pages we've linked from this one and we welcome
any questions or comments you might have.
