Southwest Wisconsin Technical College

Southwest Wisconsin Technical College is located in the rural community of Fennimore, situated in the unglaciated driftless region of southwest Wisconsin, approximately 75 miles west of Madison. The public technical college operates from a main campus that spans 235 acres and includes modern technical training facilities, laboratory spaces, and agricultural learning areas that support its hands-on educational approach. Founded in 1967 as part of Wisconsin's technical college system, the institution provides two-year associate degrees, technical diplomas, and certificates with particular emphasis on agricultural sciences, public safety, and healthcare programs. The campus features student housing options in apartment-style residences, and the college maintains strong connections with regional employers through its technical and vocational programs. Southwest Tech serves students primarily from a six-county district while offering select programs that draw students from across the state.
