MADISON – Wisconsin’s Technical Colleges have the highest bond rating found in any state technical or community college system in the nation, according to Moody’s Investors Service. Moody’s rates 160 technical and community college districts in the U.S. and found Wisconsin’s 16 technical colleges, as an aggregate, “Have a stronger credit profile than community college districts in other states,” with a median rating of Aa2.
