In 2018, the University of Wisconsin System was officially restructured. The institution known as UW Colleges, comprised 13 two-year campuses, was dissolved and campuses were joined with one of seven University of Wisconsin four-year comprehensive or research institutions. UW Oshkosh gained two of the UW Colleges campuses, Fox Cities and Fond du Lac. UW Oshkosh chose a unique model where departments were integrated across all three campuses. Herein, we discuss the lessons learned from the integration of the chemistry department including the lasting impacts of a catalog and curriculum merger, overcoming course structure issues (i.e., lab time length, discussion vs. no discussion, etc.), standardization of learning outcomes, and how students are engaging with the three-campus model.
