REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am learning a lot. We have wonderful teachers and a very diverse and affordable(cheap) college, MATC is a college that don't discriminates based on grades or ACT s or SAT s. They understand the lives of student, they know that we are not just students we are also parents, and not typical parents teen moms. They know that we are wives and husbands and they accommodate us because they know times are hard. They only thing that i do wish they improved was more help with scholarships and grants.

Milwaukee Area Technical College is very student orientated and helpful with hands-on experience regarding your program. MATC, with all four campuses, serves Milwaukee by offering a variety of technical programs that will prepare us students for the real careers in the world. This school and its instructors have helped me alot with figuring out a caeer path.

Emily from Hales Corners, WI
I didn't exactly hope attending MATC. Considering the fact that this school was not my top choice, talking to very nice teachers and helpful faculty here I am now looking forward to going here at Milwaukee Area Technical College!
Antionne from Milwaukee, WI
I really like going to Milwaukee area Technical College. The classes are reasonable. I am getting a good education. The college is close to my house. Some of my classes in my degree I can do on line.
Dawn from South Milwaukee, WI
They have a wonderful faculty that are truly passionate about their fields. They also have a great curriculum, and ease of learning. Sadly, some of the students attending give the school a bad name.
Brian
The culinary program is amazing. I spoke to students and looked at both this program and the program for Art Institute of Wisconsin. The program at MATC is much better and costs much less.
