More and more students at the University of Wisconsin at Marathon County are taking hybrids.
Not the cars...but the courses.
According to Associate Campus Dean Whiz Beck, in order to meet the needs of students, and battle with travel costs....more hybrid courses are becoming available.
"Our courses are being tailored to more and more students who travel, okay. They come in they take a class for one hour, the next one it may be online for them," Beck Said.
He says the half online, half classroom courses mean less travel for students....the majority of which are commuters.
UWMC is working on a ride share program to help students who travel even more.
Beck says many students are feeling the financial burdens of higher education.
Currently enrollment at the college is one percent less than last year's record breaking number. The nursing and engineering programs are thriving.
